You are involved in a skateboarding incident. your feet left the board, and you hit your head on the pavement. you were wearing a helmet, but you lost consciousness for about two minutes. when you came to, you began vomiting and were slurring your speech. which facility should you visit to treat your injuries?

a research center

b emergency room

c general practice

d clinic

OK so with the state of the person given I believe it will be best to go to the emergency room because it could be serious and the clinic general practice and research center may not have the necessary tools available to find the problem.

Pe.dometer would be the most useful to you for monitoring heart rate.

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
