Therefore, it became necessary for Security staff to go hands on. Security Officers Alonso and Ayuso using MOAB Techniques had to put the patient down on his bed controlling his arms and legs while the nurse administered the medication. The patient struggled a bit attempting to get up but did not escalate the situation to where it was necessary to use soft restraints to control him.

Initially, building a trust and a good rapport between healthcare professionals (nurse or a paramedic) and a patient is the crucial part to start conversation and any form of treatment on them. As per the law of consent and autonomy for medical treatment a client can be treated only if he or she giving consent for it after the client being informed everything about the treatment and plausible side effects (Olick, 2012).

To be patient if they are having breathing difficulties. The assessment of my first patient took a lot longer than expected, for his breathing was labored and he had to cough fairly frequently. While my dyad partner and I were doing our palpations and auscultations, we gave him plenty of time to rest or drink water if needed to ensure that he was comfortable during the experience.…

About six months later I was again in my office. The door opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to…
