The Secondary Assessment includes which of the following?

• A. Airway
• B. Breathing
• C. SAMPLE
• D. Environment

Answer: (C)

In wilderness first aid, the secondary assessment focuses on gathering a detailed history and performing a thorough exam after any immediate life threats have been addressed. A key part of this step is using the SAMPLE mnemonic to organize important information: Symptoms or Signs, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake, and Events leading up to the incident. This information helps guide treatment decisions and anticipate potential complications, making it the best fit for what the secondary assessment includes. Airway and Breathing are evaluated during the primary assessment, which tackles life threats first, and the environment is considered for scene safety and overall context rather than being a component of the secondary history.
