Question: 1 / 400

Despite various treatments, blood pressure remains 132/74 mm Hg, pulse at 110 beats/minute, respirations are 20 breaths/min for a patient with severe headaches. What is the recommended EMS treatment?

Apply warm compress to the neck and transport with lights and siren

Despite the patient's severe headaches, their blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rates all fall within normal ranges. This indicates that the patient's condition is not life-threatening and does not require an escalated emergency response such as using sirens. Providing a warm compress to the neck can help to alleviate pain and discomfort, but it is not the recommended treatment for this situation. Administering migraine medication without lights and siren is also not the recommended course of action as it does not address the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. Placing the patient supine and transporting them to a stroke center with sirens is also not the appropriate treatment as the patient's symptoms do not indicate a stroke. The most appropriate recommended EMS treatment in this scenario is to transport the patient with lights and siren to a medical facility for further evaluation and treatment.
