A 28-year-old male was cutting limbs from a tree when he lost his footing and fell 20 feet. He is unresponsive and breathing poorly at 28 times per minute. His radial pulse is weak and thready and his skin is cool to the touch. Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) have placed him on a nonrebreather face mask and are holding manual in-line stabilization. A blanket has also been applied and covers the man. Based on these assessment findings, what instruction would you give to the EMRs?
A) Since he is unresponsive, let's go ahead and open the airway with the head-tilt, chin-lift.
B) Let's uncover him since increased temperature will dilate his blood vessels and drop his BP.
C) Let's go ahead and move him to the stretcher for immediate transport to the hospital.
D) Let's take off the oxygen mask and start positive pressure ventilation to assist his breathing.
