Question 49 • Sports Medicine 1a

Sergio falls to the ground during a football game. The team doctor performs the initial survey. What is MOST likely to happen during this task?

Answer
A
The doctor will determine if Sergio’s life is in immediate danger.
B
The doctor will apply an AED to Sergio’s chest to analyze his heart.
C
The doctor will relocate Sergio to a stretcher and get him off the field.
D
The doctor will ask Sergio for his family medical history.

Explanation

An initial survey is a rapid check for conditions that could threaten life right away, such as problems with breathing, circulation, or responsiveness. The doctor’s main task is to determine whether Sergio is in immediate danger. Using an AED, moving him, or asking about his family medical history may happen later if needed.
