Upon arriving at the scene of a patient with difficulty breathing, you find the patient, a 300-pound man, sitting on the couch in his living room. the patient is conscious and alert and tells you that he is chronically short of breath, but feels worse today and wishes to be transported to the hospital. as you begin your assessment, your partner should:

Your partner should request lifting assistance, so that they can transport the man, making sure that he is still conscious and has somewhat of a way to breath. I hope that this helps you!

Atp is is our little "pocket" of energy. of course, if you have too little, then it means you have too little energy, and you'll pass out. the way to not have enough, is to have no energy sources (glucose, fats, proteins). you can't have too many atp molecules. cycles like the krebs cycle produce it, but if you have too much of any substrate (or too little for that matter), the cycle stops and atp is no longer made (it stops until substrate levels are such that the process can go on). in any case, this is unlikely since atp is constantly hydrolyzed and remade, even while you're asleep. you won't have too much. if you have zero, you are dead or dying.
