Appropriate Protocol
The universal patient assessment protocol
should be used as a primary guide to all
patient assessments.
AVPU
 Alert
 Verbal
 Painful
 Unresponsive
When eliciting a noxious stimulus, the preferred
method is the nasopharyngeal airway. If the
patient accepts it, they need it. Ammonia
capsules are second, and in extreme cases the
sternal rub is acceptable.
Vital Signs (as appropriate)
 Pulse
 Respirations
 Blood Pressure
 GCS
 Pulse Oximetry
 Capnography
 Temperature
