Reassessment is performed to determine all of the following, EXCEPT:

• A. The airway status
• B. The effectiveness of interventions
• C. The progression of symptoms
• D. The reason the patient called EMS

Answer: (D)

Reassessment is about checking the patient’s current condition and how they respond to care. It focuses on whether the airway remains clear and breathing is adequate, whether the treatments given are having the desired effect, and how symptoms are changing over time. The reason the patient called EMS is information gathered at the outset during the initial assessment to establish the chief complaint and context; it doesn’t change with ongoing care and isn’t something you reassess to judge the patient’s current status. So the statement about why the patient called EMS is the one that doesn’t fit reassessment.
