Problem

You are on scene of a patient who is pulseless and nonbreathing. The patient has terminal cancer and the family tells you they have a DNR but cannot find it. What should you do? You are at the home of a terminally ill patient who is showing signs of impending death. You are preparing to transport the patient to the hospital but a family member states that the patient wants to die at home. What should you do? Your patient is a 55 year old female with a history of emphysema and CHF. As you assess her, you notice that she is altered, cyanotic, and has severely labored respirations. How would you manage this person's airway? You are caring for a conscious, confused patient with left sided hemiparalysis. His airway is patent and his respirations are 22 breaths/ minute, with adequate tidal volume. Treatment for this patient should include: A 50 year old male presents with an altered mental status. His wife tells you that he has had a "small stroke" three years ago, but has otherwise been in good health. After administering oxygen, what would be the most appropriate assessment for this patient?
