You Make the Call - Read the following scenarios and choose one to use as your short story. Tell me
how you would treat this patient and use the vocabulary words that are appropriate. (At least 7)
1. Your neighbor comes running to your home for help. She is sure her 8-year-old has taken several pills
from the bathroom medicine cabinet, thinking they were candy. The child is becoming very sleepy by the
time that you arrive. What should you do?
2. You are called in the middle of the night to a residence for an unknown alarm. Upon arrival, you see a
family of four standing on the front lawn and hear a smoke detector alarm coming from the house. The
mother tells you that the alarm woke them and they immediately exited the home. The father and two
children are complaining of headaches. They are unsure why the alarm is sounding. You see no signs of
smoke coming from the house. What should you do?
