What should the dental team complete once the patient is stabilized and transported to the hospital? Why?
A 45-year-old female presents with a negative medical history. She has come to the dental office for a check-up and cleaning. During the appointment, the patient experiences chest pains. The dental team determines that the patient is possibly experiencing a heart attack. They provide treatment for the patient and call for emergency medical assistance. The patient is transported to the hospital.
What will be an ideal response?
Document any treatment the office provided to establish that the office did not abandon the patient.
