Who administers and enforces building codes?

You have been called to an office building for a 47-year-old male complaining of chest pain. He is alert, oriented, and complaining of pain in his chest that came on suddenly about 15 minutes ago. His skin is diaphoretic and cool. Which one of the following should you do first?

A) Apply supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula. B) Obtain a heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and SpO2 reading. C) Determine if there is a family history of cardiac illness. D) Administer the first of up to three nitroglycerin tablets.

During transport, a female patient who is restrained begins to cry and states that she is sorry for becoming violent and will not behave in that manner anymore. She requests that the restraints be removed because they are hurting her legs and she does not wish to be restrained any longer. After ensuring that the restraints are not too tight and not harming the extremities, you would:

A) Remove the leg restraints, but not the arm restraints. B) Remove the restraints, but reapply if the patient becomes combative. C) Leave the restraints in place until patient care is transferred to the hospital. D) Free one leg from the restraint, but leave the rest in place.
