You have responded to a report of an injured person. When you arrive, you find a 55-year-old woman who has fallen and sustained a small laceration to her forehead. She is holding a small dog and asks if she can bring it with her to the hospital. What is the most appropriate action to take regarding transport?
Ask the patient if it is a service dog, and what it is trained to do
Explanation:
A service dog is a dog that has been trained to assist a disabled person. These dogs are trained to do works and tasks for people with disabilities with the aim to help them. Asking the question on whether the dog is a service dog would help to determine if it could be of help and therefore be brought along on this basis.
