You are the team lead for a call. You are dispatched out to a combative and aggressive party. You arrive on scene to find four officers on top of a patient, with the patient in a prone position and handcuffed behind his back. The officers have requested sedation. What is an appropriate response to this situation? Have the officers roll the patient over and begin assessing before deciding to sedate. Immediately grab your sedation medication of choice and subdue the individual. Moved the patient to the back of your ambulance, still handcuffed behind his back. Tell the others that this is a police matter and refuse to transport.
