188. Who turned them away? And yes, asking her questions is part of the assessment process of care.

Asking questions is part of the assessment process of medical care. She refused to talk with them. That was her choice at that point.

The first thing you do is look and listen. You observe, you ask questions. THEN you touch the person (unless they are actively bleeding or some such, in which case you combine observing, questioning and touching). Asking questions is part of getting care.

She refused to be assessed, physically or verbally. It was her right at that point. Going against that would be assault or harassment.
