What should the auxiliary have done when the patient first began to complain of being hot and dizzy?
A 32-year-old female presents with a positive medical history. She is six months pregnant and has come to the dental office because of some pain in the maxillary right central. While waiting for the dentist to come into the operatory, she complains of feeling hot and a little dizzy. A few minutes later, she loses consciousness. The auxiliary assumes the patient is suffering from syncope. She places the patient in the Trendelenburg position, administers oxygen, and passes an ammonia capsule underneath the patient’s nose.
