How does one deal with ER patients on the PE that are exhibiting severe symptoms like extreme chest/abdominal pain or respiratory distress? Whats the best way to offer these patients empathy? Is it ok to ask somebody in severe pain if they want morphine? Is it ok to offer oxygen (via either nasal canula or face mask) to somebody in respiratory distress? Any advice?
