You are called to the scene of an attempted suicide. You arrive to find a 25-year-old man sitting on the sofa who apparently cut his wrists. Family members have bandaged them, and there does not appear to be any bleeding risk at this time. The scene is secure. Which action would you NOT take in treating this patient?
A) Contact the receiving hospital and report on current mental status and other essential information. B) As soon as possible, perform a history and physical exam and provide emergency care on the wrist, if necessary. C) Perform a detailed physical exam only if it is safe and you suspect the patient may have an injury. D) Make sure you take charge of the situation.

The patient must know that you are the boss.
