What if...
you're starting an IV and the catheter breaks off in the vein?
a patient has a gun tucked in his waistband?
the Heimlich fails?
What If… there were a book that anticipated stressful, dangerous, or unusual situations? This handy, quick reference answers the questions you need to know…but may be afraid to ask. Concise, easy-to-read text puts essential knowledge at your fingertips—from what to do when you witness a traumatic accident on your way to work to how to cope with tyrannical colleagues—and everything in between.
When to, how to, and when not to! In the hospital, at a social function, on a mountainside, or at the beach, step-by-step instructions explain how to be prepared for the unexpected.
