Default Re: Questions on NVQ3

OK, question 3 for starters.
Get a bit more background - 2WHAM helps, but check if patient has just returned from overseas, and what type of overseas visit it was, top hotels or back-packing in 'pensions' or 'road houses' after walking through the bush?
Any temperature, rash or fever, and not started taking any new medicines in run up to event?
If not, you are thinking along the right lines. If no improvement in 24hrs seek further medical help.
