A 22-year-old male was fishing when he was submerged for approximately 30 seconds after he moved into deeper water to untangle his fishing line. He states that he did take some water into his lungs but feels better now and does not see the need to be transported to the hospital. Which one of the following responses is most appropriate?
A) "We will wait here with you for another 20 minutes. If you do not cough, then you should be okay, and I will feel better about letting you refuse transport."
B) "Let me listen to your breath sounds again. If they are clear, then you should be okay to refuse additional care and transport."
C) "You seem okay now, but it may take a day or two for complications to become apparent. You really should be checked out in the hospital."
D) "Your pulse oximetry reading is 97% on room air, which indicates that you are breathing adequately. You should be okay to refuse, but keep an eye on yourself."
