Signs look, listen, feel and smell for any signs of injury such as swelling, deformity, bleeding, discolouration or any unusual smells. When checking them you should always compare the injured side of the body with the uninjured side. Are they able to perform normal functions such as standing or moving their limbs

Secondary assessments are used in order to determine the injury, how the injury occurred, how severe the injury is, and to eliminate further injury.

Glad to help!
