Lifeguarding Practice Test – Complete Exam Preparation

Question: 1 / 400

You arrive on a scene where someone seems to be hurt. During the primary assessment, you should check for all of the following EXCEPT:

Bleeding

Breathing

Consciousness

Swelling

During a primary assessment, you should check for signs of instability and life-threatening problems. Bleeding, breathing, and consciousness are all potential signs that someone may need immediate medical attention. Swelling, on the other hand, may not necessarily indicate a life-threatening issue. While swelling should still be monitored and reported, it is not a part of the primary assessment checks. Therefore, it is the one thing you should NOT check for during the primary assessment.
