    rapid body survey is aspose to occur after checking the ABC's of the patient(Airway, Breathing, Circulation). It involves checking for bleeding or bone fractures at the head, ears, eyes, neck, shoulder, chest, stomach, back, hips, legs and then arms(in this order). The entire procedure should take no more than 30 seconds.

    This is only done before medical personnel arrive. If after this check, they still haven't arrived, you then proceed to do the secondary survey, and then place the patient in the Recovery Position. Check for pulse and breathing every 2-5 minutes while waiting for med personnel to arrive, make sure the patient stays warm, and do not let him/her eat or drink.
