Enrоute Phаse Scenаriо: The AEMT is dispаtched tо a community dental office for a 28-year-old female patient who is reportedly acting strangely and refusing to allow anyone near her. The call was received at 1440. The estimated response time is 9 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is also en route. Law enforcement has been requested but has not yet arrived on scene. It is overcast and 52°F (11°C) on a mild afternoon. Traffic in the area is moderate. The patient is located in a private dental suite within the office. The nearest hospital is 10 minutes from the scene. OnScene Phase Scenario: The patient (approximately 40 kilograms) is standing in the corner of a private dental suite, mumbling incoherently and clutching her chest. She appears visibly frightened and refuses to sit, make eye contact, or respond to verbal commands. The dental staff states that the patient was agitated upon arrival and repeatedly claimed that someone was “chasing her.” The patient has a history of anxiety and a prior psychiatric admission, and she takes sertraline for depression. She has no known drug allergies. There are no signs of trauma. The patient has not attempted to harm herself or others but is refusing to answer questions or follow instructions. Law enforcement has arrived and is standing outside the room. The patient’s level of consciousness appears intact, but her behavior is paranoid and disorganized. No vital signs have been obtained at this time. Post Phase Scenario: The patient was safely restrained with the assistance of law enforcement and placed on the stretcher. She is now lying still but intermittently crying and speaking incoherently. She does not answer questions but no longer resists care. The patient’s skin is warm and dry, and there are no signs of trauma. She remains in soft restraints and is being transported to a facility equipped for psychiatric evaluation and stabilization. Eyes are open, and pupils are 4 mm and reactive to light. The vital signs are: blood pressure is 138/82 mmHg, pulse is 108 beats per minute, respirations are 18 per minute, SpO₂ is 98% on room air, and temperature is 98°F (37°C). What observation suggests the patient is not currently a physical threat to the crew?
Enrоute Phаse Scenаriо: The AEMT is dispаtched tо a 58-year-old male patient who is unresponsive in his home. The time of the call is 0800. The response time will be 10 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is dispatched with the ambulance. The patient is located inside his bedroom. There is heavy rainfall in the response area.

On Scene Phase Scenario: The patient (approximately 70 kilograms) is found unresponsive, lying on a couch in the living room. The family reports the patient had been feeling weak earlier in the day and became unresponsive within the last 20 minutes. The patient has a medical history of metastatic cancer, depression, and chronic constipation. The patient takes methadone for cancer-related pain, along with sertraline, docusate sodium, ondansetron (as needed for nausea), and lactulose (as needed to prevent hepatic encephalopathy). There are no known allergies to medications. Upon AEMT assessment, the patient is unresponsive to verbal or painful stimuli. The airway is partially obstructed by relaxed soft tissues, and respirations are slow and irregular. The patient’s pupils are pinpoint and reactive to light. The skin is pale and cool, with no visible signs of trauma. The patient does not respond to motor commands.
