What do i do as a medical assistant if a patient faints?

The medical assistant should then instruct the patient to lower his or her head below the knees. This promotes blood flow to the brain. The patient should then be instructed by the medical assistant to breathe slowly and deliberately.

It's a matter of priority, what is more important loss of blood or lack of Oxygen. If the trauma patient is conscious put a bandage in their hand and tell them to apply pressure and elevate the limb if there is no sign of a fracture. Then you can concentrate on the medical patient. Put the asthma patient into the semi-seated position get them to take their inhaler and don't forget to call for the EMS.
