Your patient is a 20-year-old male who is conscious, alert, and in severe distress. He describes a 3-day history of diffuse abdominal pain near his umbilicus that became sharp and migrated to his lower right quadrant this morning. He states that the pain became acutely worse 1/2 hour ago and that he is now lightheaded, nauseated, and has vomited numerous times. Physical examination reveals his skin to be cool, pale, and diaphoretic, and he will not let you palpate his abdomen. HR = 132, BP = 76/50, RR = 22, SpO2 = 95%. Based on his clinical presentation, the most proper treatment, in addition to giving oxygen, would be:
A) IV of normal saline wide open, left lateral recumbent position, phenergan IV, transport.
B) IV of normal saline wide open, Trendelenburg position, rapid transport.
C) IV of normal saline, fluid challenge, left lateral recumbent position, expedited transport.
D) IV of normal saline, fluid challenge, supine position, expedited transport.
