A 71-year-old male with a cardiac history and lower abdominal and back pain has called 911 for help. On scene, you detect a large pulsatile mass in his abdomen. With the exception of skin that is diaphoretic, the primary assessment indicates no life threats to the airway, breathing, or circulation. He has a history of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and is allergic to sulfa-based

medications. Vital signs are pulse 92, respirations 20, blood pressure 130/66, and SpO2 95% on room air. What action would make you intervene immediately?

A) "Since I am not having chest pain, I am not going to take my nitroglycerin."
B) "I am going to check my blood sugar with my own glucometer."
C) "I am going to leave my home oxygen on 2 liters since it seems to have helped my breathing."
D) "I am going to take my daily aspirin since I did not take it this morning."
