Question

A worker was just hit by a forklift. The scene is safe and you begin to assess the worker. You see that she is conscious and

breathing normally, but obviously in pain. What is the purpose of doing a secondary survey on this victim?

Answer 1

Make sure the injury isn't severe. Call 911 and keep making sure they are breathing normally. If not, give them CPR until an ambulance comes. Try not to move them too much and keep them calm.
