Prompting supports learners as they work through team-rescue scenarios by giving targeted, in-the-moment cues rather than performing the tasks for them. In multiple-rescuer drills, the aim is to practice coordination, communication, and following the correct sequence under pressure. The instructor uses prompts to guide decision-making, remind about safety checks, and assign roles, while still letting participants lead actions. This approach preserves active problem-solving and teamwork, and provides feedback at the right moments to keep the scenario safe and instructional. Demonstration would remove the chance to practice the decision-making process, lecture is too passive for scenario work, and silent observation offers little feedback.
