(A). The components of a secondary assessment include a focused history and focused physical exam. The history should be targeted to information that could explain cardiorespiratory or neurologic dysfunction and should take the form of a SAMPLE history (Signs/symptoms, Allergies, Medications, past medical history, timing of Last meal, and Events leading to this situation). Medical personnel not engaged in resuscitative efforts can be dispatched to elicit history from witnesses or relatives. The physical exam during the secondary assessment is a thorough head-to-toe exam, although the severity of the childs illness or injury could necessitate curtailing portions of the exam or postponing nonessential elements until a later time
