Question 11 • Sports Medicine 1a

Martin slips in the weight room and hits his head on a nautilus machine. When he is on the ground, he cannot answer any questions. His coach pinches his leg, and Martin makes a moaning sound. When the coach calls the EMS, what is the MOST accurate description he can give of Martin?

Answer
A
Martin is responsive to only painful stimuli.
B
Martin is unresponsive.
C
Martin is responsive to verbal stimulus.
D
Martin is alert.

Explanation

Martin cannot answer questions or respond to the coach’s voice, but he moans when his leg is pinched. A pinch is a painful stimulus, so he is responsive to pain, though not to verbal stimulus. The most accurate description is “responsive to only painful stimuli.”
