Question 47 • Sports Medicine 1a

Casey is using the National Safety Council’s AVPU scale. What is MOST likely her goal when using this scale?

Answer
A
She is helping an athlete recover from a fracture.
B
She is assessing an athlete’s nervous system.
C
She is triaging multiple injured people so they get help.
D
She is performing CPR on someone who is unresponsive.

Explanation

The AVPU scale checks a person’s level of consciousness: whether they are Alert, respond to Voice, respond to Pain, or are Unresponsive. Casey is therefore most likely assessing the athlete’s nervous system. The scale may help guide triage, but it is not itself CPR or fracture treatment.
