Every complete medical assessment includes a history of the mechanism of injury. Often, such a history cannot be obtained from a patient who has sustained trauma; therefore, prehospital personnel and family must furnish this information. The AMPLE history is a useful mnemonic for this purpose: • Allergies • Medications currently used • Past illnesses/Pregnancy • Last meal • Events/Environment related to the injury
