When beginning an on-going assessment or reassessment you should start by:
  1. Checking the skin temperature.
  2. Checking the blood pressure.
  3. Examination of the head.
  4. A review of the initial assessment.
Explanation
Answer: D - A review of the initial assessment should be the start of any ongoing assessment. This will help the EMT-P determine any changes that have taken place since the initial assessment. Physical examination of the head, vital signs and skin signs are a part of the on-going assessment but do not start the on-going assessment. Make sure to advise your patient to mention any changes in their condition to you if they are able to communicate.
