You cannot always assume a person
should be placed into the recovery
position.
 When it is safe to do so, you should
always check for additional injuries.

2 head to toe assessment
•Starting at the head is your
best bet.
•Check for head and spinal
injuries
•If injured, the victim could
be paralyzed.
•Checking for
bumps, bruises, or anything
that should not be on/in the
head or neck.
•Grabbing or slapping
the head is probably a
bad idea.
•Sounds crazy, but
people do this
aggressively because
they panic.
•Keep calm and gently
feel for things that are
not normal.
•Also, forcibly handling
someone’s head could
cause paralysis or even
death!
•---------- This slap on
an injured person could
seriously hurt them!
-Move to the shoulders
and collarbone.

-Feel the skin gently
and check for anything
that is not normal.
•The core is the most important part of
the body to check (after the head).
•Contains all vital organs (heart, lungs,
stomach, intestines, etc.)

•Check for broken ribs which could
puncture these organs.
•Punctured organs can lead to severe
blood loss and death. Be careful!

lumps that could
indicate broken
bones.

 If they suddenly come into consciousness
they will be surprised by you.
 Constantly assure the person that you
are trying to help them.
 If the person is conscious, what do you
think you should do?...

Perform the
assessment while
the person is awake.




work downwards.



stand and seek medical attention if
necessary.

pain they are feeling and await EMS’s
arrival.
