You respond to a residence for an unknown emergency involving an 83-year-old man. When you arrive, you find the patient, who is conscious and alert, sitting on his couch with his head held over a bowl. He tells you that his nose started bleeding about 20 minutes ago and he cannot get it to stop. As your partner assists the patient in controlling the bleeding, you inquire about his medical history. He tells you that he has chronic atrial fibrillation, has high blood pressure, and is occasionally depressed. When you ask him about compliance with his medications, he tells you, "I take my medicine every day, but the writing on the bottles is so small."
