Question 18 • Sports Medicine 1a

Gretta is a team physician performing an initial survey and a physical exam survey of an injured athlete. What is MOST likely to happen during the physical exam survey that is NOT likely to happen in the initial survey?

Answer
A
Gretta will talk to the athlete and family about their medical history.
B
Gretta will observe the athlete for obvious signs and symptoms.
C
Gretta will check and monitor the athlete’s vital signs.
D
Gretta will provide emergency care to the athlete if needed.

Explanation

The physical exam survey is the more detailed follow-up, where Gretta can ask the athlete and family about medical history. The initial survey focuses on quickly identifying urgent problems, such as observing obvious signs and symptoms, checking vital signs, and providing emergency care when needed. Therefore, discussing medical history is most likely during the physical exam survey.
