2. Begin by reviewing the assessment categories: critical, unstable, potentially unstable, and stable. Familiarize yourself with the definitions and criteria for each category.
3. In the designated fields, input the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation status as applicable. Utilize the AVPU scale to assess responsiveness, noting whether the patient is Alert (A), responds to Verbal stimuli (V), responds to Pain (P), or is Unresponsive (U).
4. Based on the assessment category determined from the previous inputs, select the appropriate interventions. If the patient is critical, document the initial interventions and note the need for immediate transport and consideration of Advanced Life Support (ALS) backup.
5. If the patient is unstable, ensure you have performed a rapid assessment and interventions while preparing for transport. Log these details accurately.
6. For a potentially unstable condition, complete focused history and physical examination notes if time permits, particularly if low blood sugar treatment is indicated.
7. Finally, if the patient's status is stable, conduct a detailed physical examination, noting any treatments administered as necessary.
8. Once all sections are completed, save your changes and choose to download, print, or share the filled-out form according to your needs.
