Yes, as a Doctor Only, you can give results on the CMP and electrolyte panel the same day. This will help the doctor to decide whether the patient should be admitted or not, in most cases. Although, there are cultures in these panels that can take longer time for the results. Most of the time, if discharged, etc. they will call with critical results and when results are normal, you may not hear from them at all.
Risk:
1) Unwanted child/children
2) Previous abuse in the home. As in parent to the child or the grandparent to the child's parent. Or spouse to anyone in the house.
3) Mental illness of child/children primary caretaker.
Protective:
1) School, daycare, doctors ability to notice signs/symptoms of abuse.
2) Someone saying something, neighbor, friend, etc.
3) Ability to contact correct "law enforcement" to have the child/children properly looked over, situation looked into.
Drs can counsel people on birth control. They can counsel people they think are involved in a domestic violence situation. And they can put the patient on medication for mental/emotional issues, as well as have them see a therapist.
Hope this helps.
