Josephine Robbins is a nurse at a local hospital. She lives in a nearby apartment complex and is trying to tune out loud noises coming from a party in the next complex. The noise seems to escalate, then she hears someone shout, "Oh my God, he stabbed him," and then there is silence. She calls 9-1-1, gets dressed, and goes to see if it is safe to offer assistance. After deeming it safe, she enters and sees the victim lying on the couch, unconscious. His respirations are shallow and rapid; his skin is pale and cold to the touch and his lips, earlobes, and fingertips have a bluish tinge. The victim has a 2-inch cut on the left side of the chest where a fe is still inserted, but it is currently not bleeding. There is, however, a great deal of blood in the kitchen area, on the living room carpet, and on the victim's clothing Josephine does her assessment, gives first aid, and monitors the victim's condition until the parametessiliive. When the paramedics arrive, she introduces herself and gives them a report of observations and care given the paramedics continue the care and transport the victim to the hospital. 1) What would have been appropriate first aid measures for the stabbing victim? 2) Should Josephine remove the knife from the chest? Why or why not? 3) If there is bubbling coming from the chest wound, what would this indicate? What additional fid aid measures would be necessary? 4) Which organs are located in the left side of the chest that may have been damaged by the knife?
