Your PAT assessment reveals severe lethargy, a clenched airway, SpO2 76%, and a delayed capillary refill in extremities.  The patient is hot to the touch and has a weak pulse rate of 48 beats per minute.  List you treatment plan for this patient and what all equipment and medications will be needed to provide adequate care.  What are your first priorities as the paramedic?    I know this is a loaded question lol I can assume you are going to cover scene safety and BSI so no need to write all of that out.  I want to know how you would try to combat the clenched airway?
