24 С 3. o Please read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow. It was the first game of the season and the team was playing at St. O'Leary High School. In the third quarter, Germane, the starting defensive back, hit the running back head on, went down in a lump, and didn't move. Terry, one of the athletic training students, accompanied the head athletic trainer, Mr. Hill, out to the injured player, who was face up. Mr. Hill checked his -vital signs. The vitals were good, but Mr. Hill was concerned about Germane's neck. Mr. Hill stabilized Germane's neck while Terry used a Trainer's Angel to remove the face mask. If things took a turn for the worse, they would at least have unobstructed access to Germane's airway. This was all very scary, but Terry knew what she had to do because they had practiced this very scenario many times and she was ready for cases like this. They went to work without even thinking twice. As soon as Mr. Hill put his hands to the athlete's head, the athletic training students went about the jobs they were trained to do in situations like this: Torry stayed to assist Mr. Hill; Emily went to activate EMS and show them in; and Justin went to get Germane's insurance information. The next day Germane was fine. He had been taken to the hospital for X-rays and further evaluation. All the athletic training students met with Mr. Hill and walked through what had happened the previous day. It was a great feeling to know that all the practicing they had done, which had seemed kind of boring at the time, was well worth it. Why was it a good thing that the injured football player was face-up?
