| Are you okay?? To someone in dire event of something seriously broken. |
well that one I can answer!
when in an emergency medical situation, if you ask a person that question and they can A.) answer back, and B.) tell you what hurts,
you can be assured they have an airway(if they can breathe they can speak) and they are mentating to some level(they can think , and reason and communicate).
Thus, if you are taught cpr and are told to ask"annie annie, are you ok?" and "annie" doesn't respond, she is Non responsive, and your next job is to see if she's breathing and has a pulse.
so that one isn't as silly as you thought it was. though, I know the patients don't always appreciate the questions. lol
