What represents the correct order of assessment for EMT during initial from start to end?
The correct order of assessment for EMT during the initial from start to end is:Primary Assessment:
Airway with c-spine control: Check for airway obstruction, maintain cervical spine control.
Breathing: Assess respiratory rate and effort, inspect chest rise, listen for breath sounds.
Circulation: Check pulse rate and quality, assess skin color and temperature, look for signs of bleeding.
*Secondary Assessment:*
Head and Face: Inspect for trauma or deformities, check for signs of head injury.
Neck: Palpate for tenderness or deformity, assess range of motion.
Thorax and Lungs: Inspect and palpate for tenderness, listen for breath sounds, check for equal chest expansion.
Abdomen and Pelvis: Inspect and palpate for tenderness or distension, assess for signs of abdominal injury.
Extremities: Check for deformities, tenderness, or swelling, assess circulation and sensation.
*Neurological Assessment:*
Check level of consciousness, assess pupillary response, perform Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
*Vital Signs:*
Record pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.
*Complete Physical Exam:*
Perform a thorough head-to-toe physical examination, looking for any other injuries or abnormalities.
