Which category includes "Number of Patients" and "Assistance (additional units, Fire, Police)"?

Explanation:
Focusing on scene size-up and resource management. The items Number of Patients and Assistance (additional units, Fire, Police) belong to the part of the assessment that looks at the scene itself—how many people are involved and what extra resources are required to handle the incident. This helps establish incident command, allocate responders, and keep the scene safe. It’s different from patient-focused checks like assessing pain (OPQRST-I) or evaluating level of consciousness (AVPU), which are about the patient’s condition rather than the scene and how to manage it.
