QUESTION 15 OF 20

How do you feel about law enforcement entering your sphere if your patient is involved in a crimeâ€”as either a victim or perpetrator?

Law enforcement has an important job, and your duties often intersect with the repercussions of crime upon its victims. Your attitude should be that they are part of the team when appropriate, unless it interferes with your care.

"They have a job to do, just like I have a job to do. That said, I will cooperate in any way I can which doesn't interfere with the care and well-being of my patient. If there's a conflict between us, since the ER is my realm, they have to defer to my judgement. The only exception would be when safety cannot be assured without their securing the scene."
