Misrepresenting what you are giving your pt is unprofessional, unethical, and if caught could mean you lose your license. You are doing your pt no favours by being dishonest with them. It blows my mind how little integrity some EMTs and Medics have.
Agreed. I never thought I would do it, nor did I say I would. If the pain is caused by being dehydrated, then I might explain that giving saline, which is not a pain killer, MAY help to relieve the pain.
