1. Use of telephone or radio dispatch for
					 coordination of prompt emergency services is essential. Accurately discerning
					 street names through map reading, and correctly distinguishing house numbers or
					 business addresses are essential to task completion in the most expedient
					 manner. Concisely and accurately describing orally, to dispatchers and other
					 concerned staff, one's impression of a patient's condition, is critical as the
					 First Responder works in emergency conditions where there may not be time for
					 deliberation. The Mississippi Medical First Responder must also be able to
					 accurately report all relevant patient data, which is generally, but not
					 always, outlined on a prescribed form. Verbal and reasoning skills are used
					 extensively. The ability to perform mathematical tasks is minimal, however, it
					 does play a part in activities such as taking vital signs, making estimates of
					 time, calculating the number of persons at a scene, and counting the number of
					 persons requiring specific care.
