Assume you are a nurse attending an event where a pregnant woman goes into labor. The woman progresses rapidly to childbirth and you attend the delivery. What will you do next?
You should call 911, and when emergency medical technicians arrive, give them information about who you are and how you can be reached. The woman and her newborn will be transported to the hospital, where her physician will be notified. The EMTs will need to complete and file the child’s birth certificate.
You are a medical assistant employed by a group of family physicians, and your neighbor tells you she suspects her 14-year-old daughter has contracted a sexually-transmitted disease. What will you do?
Encourage the woman to take her daughter to their family physician.
