Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary assessment begins by observing the patient as you enter the room. While approaching the patient, the EMT can assess whether there is any obvious external bleeding or signs of respiratory distress. Manual airway maneuvers should only be performed if there are signs of an obstructed airway during the primary assessment. A sternal rub should only be performed if the patient is unresponsive and there is a need to test for responsiveness to painful stimuli.
