Question: Clinical definition of a patient
Answer: ✔✔ An individual is classified as a patient if they meet any of the
following criteria:
They present with a physical complaint, or have experienced a mechanism
of injury, that hints at a underlying illness or trauma.
They display clear, objective clinical signs of disease, distress, or physical
injury.
A reasonable third-party reporter or caller requests a medical response,
indicating the individual needs an evaluation for potential medical issues or
injury.
Question: Allergic reaction category = mild
Answer: ✔✔ Characterized entirely by localized or generalized skin
presentations—such as acute rashes, pruritus (itching), or urticaria (hives)—with
zero respiratory compromise or airway swelling.
Question: Allergic reaction category = moderate
Answer: ✔✔ Presents with systemic skin symptoms coupled with minor
respiratory tract involvement (such as mild wheezing), provided the individual is
still achieving adequate tidal volume and robust air exchange.
Question: Allergic reaction category = severe (Anaphylaxis)
Answer: ✔✔ A systemic, life-threatening response that combines widespread skin
issues with severe respiratory distress, compromised airway mechanics, and
potentially systemic hypotension (shock).
