A client with trauma should be assessed for airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure. A jaw-thrust maneuver helps to establish an airway and breathing, and bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation with 100 percent oxygen source ensures ventilatory assistance. Following respiratory assessment is the circulation assessment. The pulse of the client is palpated at the radial, femoral, and carotid areas, and the systolic blood pressure is monitored. Disability is assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale to find out the eye opening, voice, and pain status. The clothes of the client are removed with scissors to prevent fabric melting into the skin.
