Secondary Trauma Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

The secondary trauma survey is an in-depth survey template that is used to identify presence of other significant but not immediately life-threatening or other injuries that were missed in the primary trauma survey. This survey template involves a more thorough and in-depth head-to-toe examination to check for the presence of injuries that will aid towards the treatment process. Medical professionals can use these survey questions to fill in identifying patient information as well as use the AMPLE acronym to collect pertinent information about the trauma that the patient has suffered.
