The emergency medical services (EMS) team has brought a 54-year-old female patient to the emergency department where you are working. The EMS personnel state that the patient was found wandering in a nearby park by a jogger, who called 911 from her cell phone after the woman screamed obscenities at her and then fell, seriously scraping her arm and face.
