Enrоute Phаse Scenаriо: The AEMT is dispаtched tо a private residence for a 78-year-old female patient who has fallen in the bathroom. The patient’s daughter reports that the patient was attempting to get up from the toilet and slipped, hitting her head on the edge of the sink. The patient is complaining of neck and back pain and has some visible bruising on her left side. The time of the call is 1030. The response time will be 6 minutes. The AEMT is partnered with an EMT, and a BLS fire department engine crew is dispatched with the ambulance. It is a cool autumn morning with temperatures at 55°F (13°C). The nearest hospital is 10 minutes away. As the AEMT approaches the scene, the patient’s history indicates she has osteoporosis and a previous history of falls. In preparation for managing the patient, what is the most critical intervention the AEMT should prioritize?
