Explanation
The pool/operator manager is responsible for verifying the competency of the hired lifeguards at the specific facility and at the depths that guards will be working. This is important to ensure that the lifeguards have the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively perform their duties and keep swimmers safe. Scheduling work hours commensurate with experience and providing guard uniforms are not mentioned as responsibilities in this context.

- C.

- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
Site-specific training for lifeguards should include facility policies and procedures, emergency action plans, and rescues with facility-specific equipment. This is because lifeguards need to be familiar with the specific rules and regulations of the facility they are working at, as well as the proper procedures to follow in case of emergencies. They also need to be trained on how to perform rescues using the equipment available at that specific facility. Therefore, all of the options mentioned are important components of site-specific training for lifeguards.

- C.
  
  Lateness policy
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Emergency action plan

Explanation
The first section of a lifeguard manual should include the emergency action plan. This is because the emergency action plan is crucial for lifeguards to know and understand in order to effectively respond to any emergencies or incidents that may occur while on duty. It outlines the necessary steps and procedures to follow in various emergency situations, such as drowning, spinal injuries, or cardiac arrest. Including the emergency action plan in the first section of the manual ensures that lifeguards have immediate access to this vital information and can quickly respond to emergencies to ensure the safety of swimmers.

1. Before providing care for a conscious injured or ill victim, you must first—
- A.
  
  Announce to bystanders what you are going to do.
- B.
  
  Begin to write your record of what happened.
- C.
  
  Find out if you have a duty to act.
- D.
  
  Obtain the victim’s consent.
Correct Answer
D. Obtain the victim’s consent.

Explanation
Before providing care for a conscious injured or ill victim, it is important to obtain the victim's consent. This ensures that the victim is aware of the care being provided and gives their permission for it. Obtaining consent is a crucial step in respecting the victim's autonomy and ensuring that they are comfortable with the care being provided. It also helps establish trust and rapport between the rescuer and the victim, creating a more positive and effective caregiving environment.

  The risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training and are not negligent.
- C.
  
  The need to legally document what was seen, heard and done at the scene.
- D.
  
  The need to obtain consent before providing care.
Correct Answer
B. The risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training and are not negligent.

Explanation
Good Samaritan laws are designed to protect professional rescuers from the risk of legal action as long as they act in good faith, within the scope of their training, and are not negligent. These laws encourage individuals to provide assistance in emergency situations without fear of being sued for any unintentional harm caused during the rescue. By providing this protection, the laws aim to promote prompt and necessary aid to those in need without hesitation or concern for potential legal consequences.

8.

If a lifeguard in-service training is not documented, it basically did not take place.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If a lifeguard in-service training is not documented, it basically did not take place. This statement implies that documentation is necessary to validate the occurrence of the training. Without proper documentation, there is no evidence or record of the training happening, making it difficult to prove that it actually took place. Therefore, the statement suggests that if there is no documentation, the training is considered non-existent.
