Which technique involves moving a subject from one point to another with pain?

• A. Temporary motor dysfunction
• B. Triage
• C. Transporter (Come-Along Hold)
• D. Touch

Answer: (C)

Moving a patient who is in pain requires a method that provides controlled, steady relocation while keeping the body aligned and minimizing further discomfort. The transporter technique using a Come-Along Hold is designed for this purpose: it allows a single rescuer to apply gentle, continuous force to move the subject from one point to another without jerking or lifting, helping distribute effort and reduce pain or aggravation of injuries. This approach stands in contrast to options that are not methods of moving someone—such as describing a symptom (temporary motor dysfunction), the process of prioritizing care (triage), or a simple touch—so it best fits the need to relocate a person safely when pain is a factor.
