When the ambulance arrives at the scene of the collision, they find that the driver of one of the cars is conscious and standing up. However, he seems disoriented. He has cuts on his face and hands, and may have other, more serious injuries. However, he refuses all attempts to examine or treat him. When asked to explain his refusal, his speech is slurred and he doesn't seem to understand what has happened. The EMTs then use gentle force to get him to lie down and submit to an examination. What sort of paternalism are they using?

Weak soft paternalism

Explanation:

Paternalism can be defined as the interference of an individual with the other person against their will and is motivated by the claim that the person who is interfered will be protected from harm.

Here, the case is weak soft paternalism in which the person is not autonomous and is not able to take his decisions by his own as stated in the question.

Soft paternalism is the view in which it is necessary to determine that the person which is being interfered is acting knowledgeably and voluntarily
