A sample question in first aid often refers to using the SAMPLE mnemonic as a set of questions to ask a patient to gather medical history, but it can also mean an example question asked in first aid training or exams. In patient assessment, SAMPLE questions include asking about Signs and symptoms like what is your main problem, what symptoms do you have, where does it hurt. Allergies like do you have any allergies to medications, foods, latex, or bee stings. Medications like what prescription or over-the-counter medications, vitamins, or supplements are you taking. Past medical history like do you have any medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, or past surgeries. Last oral intake like when did you last eat or drink anything. Events leading up like what were you doing when this started, what happened before this injury or illness. These sample questions help first aiders understand context and provide safe care. In first aid training, a sample question could be an example exam question like what is the first step when you encounter an unconscious person, with answer check scene safety. Sample questions are used to teach structured assessment and ensure important history is not missed during emergencies.
