All of the following are components of scene size-up EXCEPT:

Calling for additional resources as needed
Checking for responsiveness
Gathering an initial impression of the situation
Looking for situations that are hazardous

The correct answer is: Calling for additional resources as needed

Scene size-up is the very first step that first responders take when they arrive on the scene of an emergency. It involves quickly gathering important information about the situation in order to make informed decisions and provide appropriate care. This includes checking for responsiveness of any potential victims, assessing hazards, and gaining an initial impression of the situation. The answer choice "Calling for additional resources as needed" does not fall under the category of scene size-up as it is a subsequent step that may be taken after the initial assessment has been completed.
