You are on the scene of an unresponsive adult female patient. You find an empty pill bottle lying next to her bed. You look up the medication in your field guide and discover the medication is a powerful sedative. The prescription on the bottle is for the patient's husband, who is not present to answer questions about the medication. What should you do?
A) Do not document the empty pill bottle. You cannot prove that she took the pills and could lead the doctor to make a false diagnosis.
B) Document the empty pill bottle. It is obvious that she took the pills.
C) Document the empty pill bottle. It may provide important clues to the patient's condition.
D) Do not document the empty pill bottle. It does not belong to the patient.
