6. EAP Quite simply put, an EAP should be in 4 parts.
Later in this chapter you will be asked to complete an EAP for a team/facility here at Moore. Use the info. You read in this section to help you.
4 parts of EAP include, but not at all limited to:
PLAN
ACCESS
CARE
FOLLOW-UP

7. Are non-athletic trainers ready?
Emergency care procedures for the student are to be in the daily planning routine for all staff. However, not only one person should know this plan or have access to this plan.
All coaches, student captains, or those working the event should have access to such a plan. The four steps will help you design a plan for your particular event.
A serious injury is one which a student/adult will need advance medical care and there could be little or no time to consult a healthcare provider. Emergency action must be taken immediately. If an athletic trainer or team physician is not available then immediate response by athletic staff is necessary.

8. Gloves are not always worn in all procedures.
Universal precautions require the use of gloves whenever blood or body fluids are present.
Because there is a greater chance of exposure to blood in contact sports, gloves are included in all procedures.
On the sheet of paper, provide the answer to this statement: what is the objective of glove removal?

9. Primary Survey (page 69) On your paper, describe a primary survey.
Next, a primary survey is as simple as remembering…what?
Describe these three steps out as well.
