if a patient is sick what is the first thing you do ?

Ivane, it’s called ABC. Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Do this with every patient. If the patient is talking or crying loudly, then their airway is pretty secure. Now a days, there are digital and electronic devices to help you determine this. Breathing and lung issues are a big part of pediatrics. And a lot of them can be dehydrated. Which would fall under circulation. Your best friend in any specialty and with airway, or breathing problems, is oxygen! The most powerful drug in medicine! Don’t be afraid to use it! You can look on the internet/books. There is a book called: PALS.( Pediatric Advanced Life Support.) Even though you may not be in college yet, it can be very inspiring.
