Unit 5: A Pain in the Neck

Question 1 • Sports Medicine 1b

Claude needs to check the level of consciousness of his athlete. Which assessment will be MOST helpful in this situation?

Answer
A
AVPU test
B
SCAT 5 tools
C
active ROM testing
D
passive ROM testing

Explanation

The AVPU test quickly checks a person’s level of consciousness by determining whether they are Alert, respond to Voice, respond to Pain, or are Unresponsive. SCAT 5 is a broader tool for assessing a suspected concussion, while active and passive ROM tests assess movement rather than consciousness. The most helpful choice is the AVPU test.
