Correct answer: A — Ensure scene safety, including your own, before approaching the casualty.
The first priority at any scene is safety, following the sequence of self, scene and survivors, so hazards such as live traffic and leaking fuel are controlled before approaching. A responder who becomes a casualty adds to the incident and removes a rescuer. Protective positioning of vehicles and scene control precede patient care.
