Assessment and drug delivery notes
Students take notes on patient assessment, stabilization, and drug delivery and metabolism, then complete the PLTW online task.
Annotated notes with the ABCDE assessment sequence, stabilization steps, drug delivery route comparison table, and a brief metabolism pathway note.

💡 Big idea: Emergency response is a sequence: assess, categorize, stabilize, treat; and each drug given has a delivery route that determines how fast it works.
- 0-5 minWarm-up: list what you would check first if you found someone unconscious.
- 5-28 minTeacher-led notes: primary assessment (ABCDE sequence), vital-sign benchmarks, stabilization steps.
- 28-45 minNotes: direct bleeding control technique; drug delivery routes and their onset profiles.
- 45-55 minNotes: absorption, distribution, and metabolism overview with one example drug.
- 55-75 minPLTW online activity on emergency response (individual, self-paced).
- 75-80 minExit check: recite the ABCDE assessment sequence from memory.
- • Wednesday's simulation will ask you to assess and triage several patients in rapid sequence: today's notes are your protocol.
- • Drug delivery is part of emergency response: the route you choose affects how quickly a patient improves.
- • WebXam 072110 Biotechnology strand includes pharmacology basics, so these notes are exam content.
- • Finish the PLTW activity today: the simulation uses the same assessment sequence the platform teaches.
- 1Annotate notes on primary patient assessment and vital-sign checks.
- 2Outline the steps of stabilization and direct bleeding control.
- 3Compare routes of drug delivery and how each affects onset.
- 4Describe how the body absorbs, distributes, and metabolizes a drug.
- 5Complete the assigned PLTW online activity on emergency response.
- • Order the steps of patient assessment and stabilization correctly.
- • Submit the PLTW online task fully completed.
- • Primary patient assessment follows the ABCDE sequence: Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure.
- • Drug delivery routes (oral, IV, inhalation, topical) differ in absorption speed and site of action.
- • Drug metabolism occurs primarily in the liver; distribution depends on blood flow and tissue binding.

Day 2 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open myPLTW, navigate to Lesson 3.2 Emergency Response, and find the online activity on patient assessment and drug delivery.
Complete all questions and submit before end of period.
You submitted the triage ethics reflection Monday. Today finish the full Lesson 3.2 assessment-and-drug-delivery activity so Wednesday's simulation uses the same sequence.
Show completion confirmation to teacher before leaving.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
