what would you do in this situationRating: (votes: 0) Edit: would there be a difference in what a LPN or RN should do in this situation? Comment:
Pull my camera phone out, film it and put it on the internet. For goodness sake!

Is this for real? Regardless of who you are (nurse, doctor, environmental, transport, etc) you get his @$$ to the E.R. or call for help if you can't.

I work in the ED. I'd be on the phone with my charge nurse to let her know I was bringing in a chest pain pt. I would hope our med-surg nurses would do the same.
Comment:
Also like to add to the scenario that the person collapsed on the floor and can't move
Comment:
Call a MET team then and they can help transport.

Quote from d00d00butterQuestion for nurses. Let's say you are a med surge nurse walking down the hallway of your hospital and around the corner is the ED entrance. A man, who is not a patient, walking in front of you suddenly grabs his chest and collapses to the ground. He is short of breath and states he has chest pain. What do you do? Would you do anything different if he were a current patient?

Based on other posts this might've been an interview question.

To the OP,You know, I love to teach, but I dislike enabling the lack of effort to think it through or to find resources to assist with finding out for yourself (asking on an internet forum does not count as using a resource).So, the question is, what would YOU do? Tell me what you would do yourself first, which demonstrates that you have thought it through, and then I will let you know if you're on the right track.

In Texas the "duty to a patient" begins with the encounter. So you call a code if they are in the building and do what your policy states if they are in the parking lot.
