The dispatcher sends your engine crew (of three average sized professionals) to the home of an elderly “person fallen.” You enter the home and are directed to the bedroom by the patient’s wife to find an obese male patient on the floor. He is alert and oriented x3 and states “I’m not hurt; I just slipped off the bed while I was trying to put my socks on”. The patient states he weighs “about 500 lbs.” and requests that you assist him back into bed. Your physical exam reveals no apparent injuries. The patient continues to request assistance and states “I don’t need to go to the hospital, I just need help back in bed.” 1.What steps should you take before examining this patient?

It may not be safe for the patient or the three-man crew to move this obese patient. Consider calling for more help and using lifting assistance devices if available (e.g. gait belts, etc.) In addition, consider the patient’s assessment, physical exam, and history to determine the patient’s need for further medical evaluation despite his claim that he is “not hurt”.?2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.EMR 9 ................
