Which action occurs after checking for other injuries in the sequence?

• A. Document medical aid on the DD1380 TCCC Card
• B. Communicate with medical personnel any aid provided
• C. MARCH
• D. Retrieve first aid kit

Answer: (A)

After you finish the quick check for other injuries, you should immediately record the care you’ve provided on the DD1380 TCCC Card. This documentation creates an accurate log of what was done and when, which is vital for the next responder and for the ongoing care of the patient. The card acts as the communication bridge to medical personnel, ensuring everyone is on the same page about interventions performed. While contacting medical personnel and having supplies ready are important parts of the overall process, the sequence emphasizes recording the treatment on the DD1380 as the next concrete step after completing the assessment and initial care.
