Multiple Choice

You have transported a confused 46-year-old male who overdosed on an unknown drug to a busy emergency department.

How should you respond?

• A) "Make sure that you give the nurse the telephone number to the station so she can call if there are any questions about the patient or our care."
• B) "If you do not complete and leave the PCR, the ED staff may not otherwise have access to information contained in the PCR."
• C) "You really need to complete it before we leave. The hospital will not be able to get the patient's insurance information without the PCR."
• D) "If you do not leave the PCR, the emergency department staff will not know how to treat the patient."
