Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT) – Wetzel Practice Exam

In high-stress situations, looking out for colleagues is essential because stress can cloud judgment, fatigue, or reaction time, and teammates depend on one another to notice warning signs and intervene when needed. This mutual vigilance keeps everyone safer, supports quick, coordinated action, and helps prevent errors that can arise from unaddressed stress. The other options fall short because relying only on formal support channels misses real-time cues; ignoring personal stress leaves teammates vulnerable; and blaming colleagues increases tension and undermines effective teamwork.
