It is 1600 hours when you are called to a local community center for the report of a 12 year old girl who is having difficulty breathing. You arrive on scene and observe a young girl sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. The girl is breathing rapidly. Counselor at the community center who is with the girl informs you that she became upset after being told her father was in a vehicle crash.

What actions should you take upon arriving on the scene?
What care can you give to this patient?

Give her oxygen, monitor her blood pressure. And talk to her calmly. These are symptoms of a panic attack.
