Title: You respond to a construction site on a very hot summer day for a person "not acting right." You fin Post by: lovesong on Nov 4, 2015 You respond to a construction site on a very hot summer day for a person "not acting right." You find a 44-year-old male patient seated in a work vehicle with the air conditioner on maximum. Coworkers state the patient was working for the last 2 hours pouring concrete when he started "speaking gibberish" and nearly collapsed. The patient is responsive to verbal stimuli. Your initial vital signs are blood pressure 90/60, pulse 136, and respiratory rate 24. The patient's skin is cool to the touch and dry, but his shirt is wet with visible salt rings. You suspect:
A) heat cramps. B) heat exhaustion. C) hypernatremia. D) myocardial infarction. Title: Re: You respond to a construction site on a very hot summer day for a person "not acting right." You Post by: sarasa on Nov 20, 2015 Content hidden
