MCI stands for Multiple Casualty Incident.

• A. Not sure
• B. Not applicable
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

In EMS, an MCI is an incident with multiple casualties that requires more resources than a routine call. The statement that MCI stands for Multiple Casualty Incident is true in this context, since the term is used to indicate many injured people requiring expanded response, triage, and activation of the incident command system. Some agencies actually use Mass Casualty Incident, but the essential idea is the same: a situation with more casualties than normal. The other options don’t provide a definition or answer the prompt, so the true statement is the best fit.
