Which high performance team member has the responsibility for assigning roles (positions)?

• A. Team Leader
• B. CPR Coach
• C. Vocalist
• D. Pharmacist

Answer: (A)

In high-performance resuscitation teams, effective leadership is about organizing the group so every task has a designated person. The Team Leader takes charge of assigning roles and positions, directing who does chest compressions, who ventilates, who manages the defibrillator, who administers medications, who records time, and who oversees overall coordination. This clear assignment prevents confusion, ensures all critical tasks are covered, and supports smooth, closed-loop communication under pressure. The CPR Coach focuses on guiding the quality of CPR rather than allocating roles, the Pharmacist handles medications rather than team organization, and a Vocalist isn’t a recognized role in this setting. So the Team Leader is the one responsible for assigning roles.
