What should you provide to the medical liaison when requesting consultation?

• A. Patient information including symptoms, history, and vital signs.
• B. Crew seating charts.
• C. Flight plans.
• D. Meal preferences.

Answer: (A)

Providing patient information including symptoms, history, and vital signs gives the medical liaison a real-time, actionable picture of the patient's condition. Symptoms tell what the patient is experiencing, history reveals existing conditions, medications, allergies, and risk factors that influence management, and vital signs show current stability or deterioration. Together, this data helps the liaison quickly assess urgency, guide what treatments or interventions to authorize remotely, and plan for evacuation if needed. Other items such as crew seating charts, flight plans, or meal preferences don’t influence medical decisions and can waste valuable time or expose unnecessary information. So, sharing a concise patient report with symptoms, history, and vital signs is the most effective approach.
