A 67-Year-Old Male Who Lives in an Extremely "Bad" Neighborhood

A 67-year-old male who lives in an extremely "bad" neighborhood is experiencing chest pain. There are vacant homes throughout, including the homes to either side of his residence. Additionally, parked cars have forced you to park three houses away, making it necessary to walk and carry supplies to the residence. Which action is most appropriate as you approach and/or gain access to the patient's house?

A) Stand in front of the door while knocking to make your presence known.
B) Walk single file with your partner behind you carrying the medical bag.
C) Walk on the sidewalk instead of the grass to ensure steadier footing.
D) Hold a lit flashlight in front of you to illuminate shrubbery and trash cans.
