Assessing Patient Condition and Scene Safety Quiz

10 Questions

Which of the following is the first step in patient management?

Performing the primary survey by assessing the patient's general appearance and degree of distress

What is the purpose of determining the patient's history?

To determine the patient's symptoms, allergies, past medical history, and medications

Which vital signs should be assessed as part of the baseline assessment?

Heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry

When should vital signs be reassessed?

Every 30 minutes

What does VSA stand for?

Vital Signs Absent

Immediately on patient contact perform the primary survey by assessing airway patency, breathing, circulation and level of consciousness (AVPU)- look for obvious injury and hemorrhage - when or if finding absent/inadequate airway, breathing, circulation- follow Patient Management standard-

initiating appropriate interventions and treatments

Determine patient history - determine patient symptoms, allergies, past medical history and medications (sample) - Baseline Vital signs: Heart rate, Respiration rate, blood pressure (BP), Pulse oximetry (SPO2), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), pupils and skin colour and condition. - All vitals signs absent (VSA) - Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) - reassess vital sign relevant to patients condition, every 30 minutes at a minimum.
