A patient says they feel faint during a visit. What is your role?

Fictional case: a patient in Room 3 tells you, “I feel faint,” and appears unusually pale. The dentist is in the next room. You have completed this office's emergency orientation and may summon the dentist and emergency assistance, obtain the designated kit when directed, and perform only the roles covered by your current training. Another assistant is nearby. The emergency plan assigns the clinician the assessment and treatment decisions. You are not asked to decide the cause or whether symptoms are serious enough to deserve attention.
