dispatched to a potential suicide


Recommended Posts

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?

He's still at it asking us to do his homework. Jeesh kid, give it a rest. If you can't even do these simple things, I'm really fearing what you will do when your instructor asks you to put a simple splint on and you won't have the internet to help you.

But alas, they probably will make a Iphone app for that.

Dang, I was about to go to town on this scenario. But this is a text book question. Its been said by several others and I will say it too. Use common sense and read your book.
