Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think we're about due for another challenge, if anyone is up for it. You're dispatched to an 18 year old woman experiencing seizures. Upon arrival, you find a young woman who appears to be having a panic attack, and states that she experienced a few " shocks " . She's diaphoretic and tachycardic at a rate of 140 resting, with a blood pressure of 142/98, and a respiratory rate of 26. She has notable tremor. She reports no medical history, no medications, and no allergies, and her parents state that she's perfectly healthy, and couldn't be on drugs, as she's active in high school sports and is drug tested routinely. The patient states that she doesn't think that she's experiencing an emergency, and insists that her parents are overreacting and she simply wants to go back to bed.
