Mr. Patience, an 86-year-old male widow, who has recently been relocated to a long-term care

At 0800, he was lying in bed and not rousable

Vitals BP 85/40, HR 54, SpO2 84% in room air, Temperature 36 °C, and RR 8, irregular.

Pt. has decreased LOC, and condition is deteriorating

If it continues he will go into cardiac arrest

call 911 to transfer the patient to a hospital,

Alert the case manager using the iSBAR tool.

Prepare environment for ambulance

Call family members

Keep observing Mr. Patience until paramedics arrive
