Question 2
You have transported a confused 46-year-old male who overdosed on an unknown drug to a busy emergency department. After giving an oral report to the ED nurse, your partner informs you that he wants to hurry back to the station so that he can watch the end of the football game; therefore, he is going to complete the patient care report (PCR) at a later time. How should you respond?
A) Make sure that you give the nurse the telephone number to the station so she can call if there are any questions about the patient or our care.
