Secondary Assessment Summary: Integrate scene and patient assessment findings with knowledge of epidemiology and pathophysiology to form a field impression. This includes developing a list of differential diagnoses through clinical reasoning to modify the assessment and formulate a treatment plan. TARGET SKILLS: Performing a rapid full body scan including: Focused assessment of pain Assessment of vital signs Techniques of physical examination including: Respiratory system Presence of breath sounds Cardiovascular system Neurological system Musculoskeletal system All anatomical regions Assessment of lung sounds Techniques of physical examination for all Body systems Anatomical regions Key Terminology: Inspection Vasodilation Splitting Palpation Pallor Korotkoff sounds Percussion Vasoconstriction Bruit Auscultation Cyanosis Murmur Secondary assessment Mottling Jugular venous distention Pulse Ecchymosis (JVD) Blood pressure Tenting Lifts Systolic pressure Diplopia Heaves Diastolic pressure Visual acuity Thrills Pulse oximetry Battle sign Orthostatic vital signs Sphygmomanometer Cerumen Ascites Ophthalmoscope Bronchovesicular sounds Guarding Otoscope Vesicular sounds Hernia Full-body exam Adventitious breath Pathologic fracture Focused assessment sounds Physiologic fracture Alert and oriented (AxO) Wheezing Glasgow coma Rhonchi Scoliosis (GCS) Aspiration Reflexes Epidermis Stridor Primitive reflexes Dermis Pleural friction rubs Proprioception Fibroblasts Bronchophony Dermatomes Turgor Whispered pectoriloquy Delirium Diaphoresis Egophony Dementia
