An 85-year-old male with a history of heart attacks has called 911 for chest pain. He states that the pain started 2 hours ago when he was sitting on his porch. When asked, he states that it feels similar to his last heart attack, only this time he is also dizzy. The primary assessment indicates no life threats and the Emergency Medical Responder on scene reports the following vital signs: pulse 92, respirations 18, blood pressure 88/52, and SpO2 at 93 on room air. The patient has nitroglycerin, but has not taken it yet (you have a standing order to administer nitroglycerin without calling medical direction). After applying oxygen, you should:
 
  A) perform the secondary exam.
  B) assist the patient with his nitroglycerin.
  C) provide immediate and rapid transport.
  D) assess for neurological deficits.

Question 2
