You and your partner have secured a trauma patient to a long backboard and are preparing to lift the backboard onto the stretcher. When
doing so, you should:
A) lift the backboard from the sides instead of from the ends.
B) be sure to lift the backboard with the powerful muscles of your back.
C) recall that most of the patient's weight is at the foot end of the backboard.
D) ensure that the strongest EMT is positioned at the head of the backboard.
