  1. 1. You have treated a patient for Hypoglycemia (see first post) with IV D50, the Patient is stable with a BGL of 290 now. What do you do next?

    • Talk the patient into going to the ER to get checked out (including blood work and such)
      5
    • Talk the patient into signing a refusal
      0
    • Get the patient to eat something then have them sign a refusal
      0
    • Ask the patient if they want to go to the hospital and do what they say without pushing them one way or the other
      5
    • Other (post below)

Yeah Herbie, it's recited as well as a hard copy. We keep an accordion folder with them behind the seat.

Cool- Thanks, Dwayne.

We need to work on this in our area.

Our department is more concerned about getting billing information than making our jobs easier.

There is only one possible answer to this question and I am going to provide it once and for all:

Hit the woman over the head with a baseball bat and transport before she wakes up again. You already made the mistake of allowing her to become AOx4 once, now don't let it happen again.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a moron.
