A way to remember the questions to ask when taking a brief history is to use the acronym SAMPLE. What does the S in SAMPLE stand for?

  1. Safety techniques

  2. Secondary Assessment

  3. Signs and Symptoms

  4. Spinal Injury Assessment

The correct answer is: Safety techniques

The acronym SAMPLE stands for Signs/Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake, and Events leading up to the current illness/injury. While safety techniques may be important to consider when gathering a patient's history, they do not fall under the S in SAMPLE. Secondary Assessment is also not related to this acronym and is used in a different context. Spinal Injury Assessment may be important to consider in certain cases, but it does not address the specific question of what the S stands for in SAMPLE. Therefore, the only correct option in this context is A for Signs/Symptoms.
