He killed the spider and shows you a brown-colored spider with a "violin shape" on its back. He then states that the bite does not hurt and he sees no need to go to the hospital. As a knowledgeable EMT, you should
state: A) "Since the bite of that spider generally causes immediate pain and swelling, you probably can go without additional medical attention." B) "You should be okay by refusing transport, but make sure to wash the bite site daily with soap and water." C) "Let us take you to the hospital. They have an antivenom that will allow this to heal and make you resistant to future bites." D) "You really need to go because the bite of that spider does not heal very well and will put you at risk for infection."
