Medical treatment aboard a vessel should not go beyond examination and emergency care without first consulting __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Limits of onboard medical care under maritime regulations and company policy • Role of professional medical oversight when providing treatment at sea • Difference between emergency first aid and ongoing medical treatment

💭 Think About

• Which option ensures you are getting guidance from someone with full medical training and legal responsibility for treatment decisions? • In an emergency at sea, who is the proper authority to approve treatment that goes beyond basic first aid? • Which choice would most likely be referenced or contacted BEFORE giving more advanced care, rather than being the person already on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option represents a licensed, medically qualified authority, not just a role or document • Ask yourself which answer would still apply on ANY vessel, regardless of size, company, or whether a medic is carried • Consider which resource is typically consulted (contacted), not physically located on board like a manual or supervisor
