When should you move an injured victim?

Moving an injured victim is generally considered necessary only in specific situations, one of which is when they are in a dangerous environment. This includes scenarios where there is an imminent risk to their safety, such as in the presence of fire, gas leaks, collapsing structures, or any immediate environmental threat. The priority in first aid is to prevent further injury and ensure the victim's safety, so relocating them away from danger is crucial.

The other choices suggest conditions that might not suffice for moving an injured person. A request from the victim may not always be the best reason to move, as they might not be aware of the potential dangers. Pain observed during an assessment does not inherently justify moving someone, especially if moving them could worsen their condition. Waiting for assistance can be appropriate, but if the environment poses immediate risks, it is essential to take action without delay.
