This case study tests how well you can adapt when you're responsible for not just one patient, but an entire group.
You’re the supervisor for several crews doing volunteer trail maintenance in a local national forest.
Since your crew leaders are new, you decide to head out to their work sites to check on their work. (Plus, it’s a good reason to get out of the office, away from email, and enjoy a hike in the hills.)
The weather has been unusually hot and humid, with daytime temperatures in the 90s °F (30s °C).
You find one of your crews around lunchtime resting under a few trees. They look lethargic and tired.
One crew member is lying on his back with his feet elevated and a wet bandanna on his forehead. Your crew leader gives you a SOAP report on the patient.
