You have been dispatched to a potential suicide. At the scene, law enforcement officers arrive and advise you that this is an 18-year-old male patient with a single gun shot wound (GSW) to the head. The patient is unconscious but still breathing about four times a minute. When you arrive on scene, the patient takes his last breath but continues to have a pulse.
· What options do you have?
· What, if anything, must you do differently because this is a crime scene?
· Would there be a difference in your treatment if you knew that the patient wanted to be an organ donor?
