Primary assesments

[steveplunkett]

Im almost done my BLS trauma class and done my BLS medical class. Part of my final is a primary assement for medical and trauma according to the national registry. I know i can pass them but i keep running into trouble getting through them. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Go slow, be confident, and think about what you have to do at each step. For example, when you get to the head, think about everything you would have to do there (is it attached? Bleeding? Pupils? Etc). Think of the step you're on and the next step, but don't think about what you have to do 5 steps from now as you'll screw yourself. However, also know when you might have to make minor variations as necessary.

Confidence goes a long way if you think you can pass, you can pass. If you think you might fail, you very well might.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
