About the work
A COPD patient calls saying they're more short of breath and their sputum has turned green. Walk me through your assessment.

What would you hear on a phone call that tells you a patient with breathing trouble needs 911, not an appointment?
What they are checking: Whether they can spot respiratory distress over the phone, like speaking in short phrases or confusion.
How do you teach a patient to use an inhaler correctly, and how would you check their technique over the phone?
What they are checking: Whether they know inhaler technique is a common reason treatment fails and can coach it remotely.
A patient on home oxygen calls saying their pulse ox reads 86 percent. What do you ask and what do you advise?

How do you set up a referral to another specialist so nothing gets lost?
