| PART I (ABC's) | ALWAYS done first, no matter what else is going on. |
| PART I (airway) | Open or closed? Patent or not patent? |
| PART I (breathing) | General rate; tidal volume; audible lung sounds; work of breathing; more importantly: effective of ineffective? |
| PART I (circulation) | PULSE CHECK: radial vs. carotid, general rate, rhythm, quality. CAPILLARY REFILL: immediate or delayed. SKINS: temperature, color, moisture. MAJOR BLEEDING: arterial, venous. |
| PART I (intact) | What is intact? What is not? What can/do we do? |
| PART I (DE) | DISABILITY: eyes, verbal, motor. EXPOSURE: what do you see? what do we need to see? |
| PART I (c/c) | CHIEF COMPLAINT: cannot move on without it; sometimes obvious, other times not. |
| PART I (status) | DETERMINE PT STATUS: mild, moderate, acute? What is going to help determine this, and why is it important? |

Dx? RELIEF: taken anything for relief? Has it relieved itself? What was done in the past for relief? |
| PART II (severity) | 0-10 pain scale; How we can relate it? Considerations for Pt not being able to give a # |
| PART II (time) | When did it begin? Put a time of day to it vs how long ago it happened. |

| PART III | Vital signs; PROBELLS |
| PART III (vital signs, PROBELLS) | Pulse, Respirations, O2 Saturation, BP, Eyes, Lungs, LOC, Skins. SPECIALIZED VITALS: orthostatic vitals (rough change of 20 points in BP or HR indicates volume problem), 12 lead EKG, temperature, blood sugar. EKG, temp and BS not always required. |
| PART IV | History, Medications, Allergies, SPECIAL QUESTIONS, Pertinent Negatives |
| PART V | TREATMENT: what will they need? TRANSPORT: where do they need to go and how are they getting there? REASSESS: what needs to be reevaluated; pick top 3. |
