The five domains of athletic training are injury/illness prevention and wellness protection, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, immediate and emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation, and organizational and professional health and well-being. 5. Describe what a SWOT analysis is. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This helps healthcare provides identify what is working for the patient and what has already been done that hasn’t done so well.

Is this relevant in other settings? If so, explain why. 7. Is record keeping important? If so, explain why. Yes, record keeping is important. Recording records is legal documentation to protect healthcare professionals and other practitioners. Documentation provides proof in a patient’s treatment or care.

Explain your reasoning. I think the best way to keep records and important information is through technology. Technology is becoming more advance and easily accessible. Digital recording

limits paper waste and it is safer for the environment. Keeping important information online is easier to read. Physical documentation is not always accessible. Physical documentation can be easily lost. Keeping important documents online reduces space and can be accessed anywhere in the world. 9. What types of testing should be performed during a preparticipation examination? The preparticipation examination is a physical evaluation and it is used to screen for injuries and illnesses in athletes. There are different types of testing that is performed during the examination: The past medical history, which athletes will be questioned about medical conditions. Previous sports history, which includes physical injuries sustained during sports. Family history, which includes medical history about relatives. Physical exam screening, which includes checking vital signs. Diagnostic test, which includes blood tests. 10. What are the four types of evaluations regularly performed by an athletic trainer? Athletic trainers regularly perform pre-participation exams, on-the-field injury assessments, off-thefield assessments, and progress evaluation. 11. Name the body planes and describe how they divide the body into sections (how does it separate the body)? There are three anatomical body planes. The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right. The frontal plane divides the body into front and back. The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom. 12. Why is biomechanics important to study? Why is anatomy important to study? Explain. Biomechanics is the study of movement in the human body. Studying biomechanics can help reduce pain and increase the way athletes perform. It is important for athletic trainers to study biomechanics because athletic trainers need to follow a good technique to help athletes recover faster and stronger while reducing injuries. Also, it is important for athletic trainers to study anatomy. Anatomy is understanding the human body and how it works. Knowing the locations of organs and anatomical landmarks of the human body is extremely useful to know how to take care of the athlete’s or individual’s body. 13. Explain to me the difference between a normal diagnosis and a differential diagnosis. A normal diagnosis is treated as one diagnosis. Differential diagnosis is a possibility for more than one diagnosis. Further testing is done for differential diagnosis to determined the best diagnosis for the patient. 14. What is the acronym for the evaluation process? The acronym for the injury evaluation process is HOPS. HOPS stands for history, observation, palpating, and special tests. 15. What is the most important step in the evaluation process? History is the most important step in the injury evaluation process. It is important to gather as much past sports history, family history, and medical history information as you can.

16. What are the differences between PROM and AROM? PROM stands for passive range of motion. Passive range of motion is when the examiner does the movement for the individual without any resistance from the individual. AROM stand for active range of motion. Active range of motion is when the individual performs a movement without any assistance from anyone else. 17. What do “inert” tissues consist of? Inert tissues do not contract such as ligaments and cartilage. Cartilage and ligaments are flexible tissues. Insert tissues include all structures that are not reactive or cannot contract, such as joint capsules, ligaments, bursae, blood vessels, cartilage, and dura matter. 18. What are the seven major areas of the neurological examination? A neurological exam is when an evaluation is performed on the human body’s nervous system. For example, the neurological test is performed on someone with a head trauma. The examination consists of mental status, cranial nerves, motor system, reflexes, sensory system, coordination, and station and gait. 19. Explain what dermatomes are and what myotomes are. Dermatomes is an area of the skin that is supplied by one sensory spinal nerve. Myotomes is a group of muscles that is controlled by a single spinal nerve. 20. Explain what a SOAP note is used for, and what each letter in the acronym stands for. SOAP notes is a physical way to document important information. This documentation is hand written notes about the patient’s current injury. SOAP note stands for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan. Subjective is when the patient describes what happened in their own words. Objective is what the examiner writes what they see, feel, and hear in their own words. Assessment is for the examiner to clinically diagnose the athlete’s condition. Plan refers to how the examiner is going to address the clinical diagnosis....
