I would say B. Mostly because the patient won’t be able to speak and the patient has chills so obviously they may not be able to write and a translator will not help you figure out where the chest pain is or what they are mainly having a problem with. also, if you wait until your patient’s chest pains to sub side they will probably die to to their injuries depending on how bad it is, If I am wrong I apologize.
