2. How is an emergency defined? An unexpected serious occurrence that may cause injuries that require immediate medical attention An unexpected serious occurrence that may cause injuries that require immediate medical attention

3. What becomes very critical in an emergency situation? Time Time

4. What must all sports programs have? An emergency plan An emergency plan

5. Once the rescue squad is called, who should have the final say on how the athlete is to be transported? The emergency medical technicians The emergency medical technicians

6. Once the rescue squad is called, what role does the athletic trainer assume? An assistive role An assistive role

7. What does the on-the-field assessment help determine? The nature of the injury and provides direction in the decision-making process concerning the emergency care that must be rendered. The nature of the injury and provides direction in the decision-making process concerning the emergency care that must be rendered.

8. How is the on-the-field assessment subdivided? Primary survey and secondary survey Primary survey and secondary survey

9. When is the primary survey done and what does it determine? Initially, and determines life-threatening situations Initially, and determines life-threatening situations

10. When is the secondary survey done and what does it determine? After the primary survey, when all life- threatening situations have been ruled out or corrected. It takes a closer look and gathers specific information about the injury from the athlete. It uncovers problems that do not pose an immediate threat to life, but may do so if they remain uncorrected. After the primary survey, when all life- threatening situations have been ruled out or corrected. It takes a closer look and gathers specific information about the injury from the athlete. It uncovers problems that do not pose an immediate threat to life, but may do so if they remain uncorrected.

11. The unconscious athlete must always be considered to have? A life-threatening injury A life-threatening injury

12. What situations are considered life- threatening? Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (i.e., obstruction of the airway, no breathing, no circulation), profuse bleeding, and shock Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (i.e., obstruction of the airway, no breathing, no circulation), profuse bleeding, and shock

13. What are the signs of shock? Blood pressure is low Blood pressure is low Systolic pressure is usually below 90 mmHg Systolic pressure is usually below 90 mmHg Pulse is rapid and weak Pulse is rapid and weak Athlete may be drowsy and appear sluggish Athlete may be drowsy and appear sluggish Respiration is shallow and extremely rapid Respiration is shallow and extremely rapid Skin is pale, cool, and clammy Skin is pale, cool, and clammy

14. What vital signs should be observed? Pulse Pulse Respiration Respiration Blood pressure Blood pressure Temperature Temperature Skin color Skin color Pupils Pupils State of consciousness State of consciousness Movement Movement Abnormal nerve response Abnormal nerve response

15. What decisions can be made from the secondary survey? Seriousness of the injury Seriousness of the injury Type of first aid required Type of first aid required Whether injury warrants physician referral Whether injury warrants physician referral Type of transportation needed Type of transportation needed

16. What is the initial management of musculoskeletal injuries? RICE RICE –Rest –Ice –Compression –Elevation

17. Chapter 13: Off-the-Field Injury Evaluation

18. What are the four distinct evaluations routinely conducted by an athletic trainer? Preparticipation (pre-season), physical examination or screening (pre-season), on-the-field injury assessment, off-the- field injury assessment. Preparticipation (pre-season), physical examination or screening (pre-season), on-the-field injury assessment, off-the- field injury assessment.

19. Define the following term: Biomechanics Biomechanics Application of mechanical forces to living organisms Application of mechanical forces to living organisms

20. Define the following term: Pathomechanics Pathomechanics Mechanical forces that are applied to a living organism and adversely change the body’s structure and function Mechanical forces that are applied to a living organism and adversely change the body’s structure and function

21. Define the following term: Etiology Etiology Cause of disease; mechanism Cause of disease; mechanism

22. Define the following term: Pathology Pathology Functional and structural changes that result from injury Functional and structural changes that result from injury

23. Define the following term: Symptom Symptom Change that indicates injury or disease; subjective Change that indicates injury or disease; subjective

24. Define the following term: Sign Sign Indicator of a disease; objective Indicator of a disease; objective

25. Define the following term: Diagnosis Diagnosis Name of a specific condition Name of a specific condition

26. Define the following term: Prognosis Prognosis Predicted outcome of an injury Predicted outcome of an injury

27. Define the following term: Sequela Sequela Condition resulting from disease or injury Condition resulting from disease or injury

28. Define the following term: Syndrome Syndrome Group of symptoms that indicate a condition or disease Group of symptoms that indicate a condition or disease

29. What are the four broad categories of the evaluation scheme? HOPS or HIPS HOPS or HIPS –History –Observation (inspection) –Palpation –Special tests

30. What is the purpose of each of the categories? History History Obtaining as much information as possible about the injury Obtaining as much information as possible about the injury Past history Past history Present history Present history Injury location Injury location Pain characteristics Pain characteristics Joint responses Joint responses Determining whether the injury is acute or chronic Determining whether the injury is acute or chronic

31. What is the purpose of each of the categories? Observation Observation The examiner gains knowledge and understanding of the athlete’s major complaint not only from a history but also through general observation, often done at the same time the history is taken. The examiner gains knowledge and understanding of the athlete’s major complaint not only from a history but also through general observation, often done at the same time the history is taken.

32. What is the purpose of each of the categories? Palpation Palpation –Bony palpation –Soft tissue palpation

33. What is the purpose of each of the categories? Special testsMovement assessment Special testsMovement assessment –Active range of motion (AROM) –Passive range of motion (PROM) –Resisted motions –Manual muscle testing

34.
