You are preparing a patient for air medical transport following a motor vehicle crash. Which of the following should be a priority assessment before securing the patient on the transport stretcher?
Administering pain relief medication to ensure patient comfort during transport
Conducting a neurological assessment to evaluate consciousness and pupil response
Ensuring the patient's personal belongings are secured
A neurological assessment is critical before securing the patient on the transport stretcher. This includes checking the patient's level of consciousness, pupil response, and motor function to identify any immediate life-threatening injuries and ensure appropriate precautions are taken to prevent secondary spinal injuries during transport. Other assessments are important but can follow once the initial neurological status has been established.
