Question: 1 / 400

Should you perform glucometry in a VSA patient?

No

It is not recommended to perform glucometry in a VSA (vital signs absent) patient because they are unresponsive and will not be able to follow instructions or cooperate during the test. Additionally, glucometry requires a drop of blood from a finger prick, which may not be feasible or appropriate in a VSA patient. It is best to focus on immediate resuscitation efforts and assess for other potential causes of the patient's unresponsiveness.
