1-2: A 76-year-old female presents with a medical history on which she states that she has heart
problems and diabetes. As the dental auxiliary begins to prepare the operatory, the patient loses
consciousness. The dental auxiliary retrieves the emergency kit and administers several drugs to the
patient. The dentist enters the operatory as the patient is regaining consciousness.
Questions
