Well than you would want to inform the student not to give anything orally per AMS
Per Oakland County protocol
If patient is NOT ALERT or vital signs are unstable:
A.
Evaluate and maintain airway, provide oxygenation and support ventilations
as needed.
B. If no suspected spinal injury, place the patient on either side.
C. Administer small amounts of oral glucose paste,buccal or sublingual.
SO... That is technically what I am supposed to do. However with an average time of 2-3 min for ALS to arrive, I think I would hold off on putting frosting in an unconscious persons mouth.
