Your patient is a 75-year-old female who is complaining of generalized weakness and loss of appetite. Your physical exam reveals no remarkable findings, and the patient has no significant past medical history. You reassure the patient that these are common complaints among people in her age group. Which of the following should you do next?
A) Advise the patient to make an appointment with her doctor if a good night's sleep does not make her feel better.
B) Transport the patient for evaluation of a potentially serious medical problem.
C) Call a family member to come and stay with the patient.
D) Reassure the patient that there is nothing to worry about; these things happen as you get older.
Question 2
You have arrived on a scene where a young girl has pushed her arms through a plate glass window. She is responsive to painful stimuli and has blood spurting from a large laceration on her right upper arm. Your paramedic partner yells for you to immediately apply direct pressure to the laceration to prevent further blood loss, while he works to control the airway. You have yet to apply latex gloves, but are wearing goggles and a gown. What would you do next?
A) Place a tourniquet above the laceration, careful not to get blood on your hands.
B) Apply gloves prior to applying direct pressure over the injury site.
C) Control bleeding by pushing the skin of the laceration together until you can apply gloves.
D) Apply direct pressure to the site with your hands until someone with gloves can take over.
