This station tests the ability to perform a full patient assessment of a victim with multiple traumatic injuries. The EMT candidate must conduct and verbalize their assessment as they would in the field, which may include removing some clothing. Any clinical information not visible or detectable through physical exam will be provided after the candidate indicates how they would normally obtain it. The candidate has 10 minutes to complete the assessment and must direct the treatment of two assisting EMTs based on their findings.

Our group is developing an app that allows doctors to notify patients of planned procedures and costs before a visit. The app is functional but still being improved. It allows doctors to select procedures, patients to review costs of individual procedures and approve or opt-out, and view a final approved price list before the visit. Development challenges include the team learning Android skills as they build the app, but they have access to experienced developers for assistance.Patient assessment medical

Patient assessment is a critical EMT skill that is tested in NYS EMT-B certification exams. The exam assesses both medical and trauma patient assessments through skill stations that simulate real-world scenarios. Candidates have 10 minutes to conduct a full patient assessment, including scene size-up, primary assessment, and verbalizing treatments for any conditions found. Examiners provide additional clinical information not observable and candidates can direct simulated EMT partners to assist with treatments. The skill sheet is used to evaluate candidates' performance on the key components of patient assessment.Sbs32 primary assessment

The document provides guidance for carers on assessing and documenting pain in clients. It outlines two different pain scales - one for clients who can communicate their pain level verbally, and one for clients with cognitive impairments who cannot. For clients who can communicate, carers should use a 1-10 pain severity scale daily and record the client's reported pain score, location, comments, and their signature. For clients with cognitive impairments, carers should observe the client for signs of pain based on facial expressions, vocalization, body language, behavior, and physical changes and report any concerns.Splinting

- 4. The Scenario This station is designed to test your ability to perform a patient assessment of a victim of multi-system trauma and voice treat all conditions and injuries discovered. You must conduct your assessment as you would in the field including communicating with your patient. You may remove the patients clothing down to shorts or swimsuit if you feel it is necessary. As you conduct your assessment, you should verbalize everything you are assessing. Clinical information not obtainable by visual or physical inspection will be given to you after you demonstrate how you would normally gain that information. You may assume that you have two EMTs working with you and that they are correctly carrying out the verbal treatments you indicate. You have ten (10) minutes to complete this skill station. Do you have any questions?
