You are dispatched to 123 Somewhere Rd to a call for an injured woman as you approach the door or the
home a man answers opens the door and tells you "this is none of your business" and to "get out of here".
What is the correct course of action in this case.
You are transporting a 48-year-old male patient between medical facilities...
During the history, you learn that the patient was involved in a fall at work and suffered a hip fracture and
a head injury. The patient is now presenting with labored breathing at 30/min that has progressively
worsened over the last 24 hours, a heart rate of 104, and a blood pressure of 98/70. On auscultation, you
hear diffuse rales. The patient denies any complaints of pain other than those related to his recent fall.
What is the most likely cause of the patient's respiratory distress?
Your patient is a 16-year old male, who fell approximately 15 feet. This call should be considered:
You are dispatched to a 75-year old female patient who is currently in cardiac arrest. After one shock via
the AED she begins breathing at 15 breaths per minute, and has a strong carotid pulse; what is your next
step?
