The shelter staff reports that the patient has not been eating regularly and had been drinking alcohol heavily the previous night. The time of the call is 1400. The response time will be 8 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is dispatched with the ambulance. The nearest hospital is 12 minutes away. On Scene Phase Scenario: Upon arrival at the shelter, the patient is found lying on the ground, weak, and disoriented but responsive to verbal stimuli. The patient’s skin is clammy, and he appears to be sweating. The shelter staff reports that he has not eaten for several days and was heavily drinking alcohol the night before. The vital signs are BP 110/70, P 92, R 18, SpO2 98% on room air, and T 98.4°F (37°C). The AEMT immediately checks the patient's blood glucose level, which reads 45 mg/dL. The patient is still confused but shows slight improvement in responsiveness after glucose administration. Given the chronic alcohol use and possible withdrawal, what should the AEMT be prepared to do during transport?
