Alert
Verbal
Pain
Unresponsive
P in the AVPU scale represents pain
AVPU scale stands for alert, verbal, pain, unresponsive
Voice or Verbal
You can tap, shout, and pinch. Remember the AVPU scale; Alert, responds to Verbal stimuli, responds to Pain stimuli; and Unresponsive.
In emergency outdoor care, we use the AVPU (pronounced ave poo) scale of consciousness: A - Alert V - Responds to verbal stimuli P - Responds to pain stimuli U - Unresponsive
The AVPU is used to remember responses during assessment of a patients mental status.
AVPU is level of consciousness; a is alert, v is responds to verbal stimulus, p is responds to pain stimulus; and u is unresponsive.
AVPU refers to a patient's Level of Consciousness (or LOC) A - Alert - the patient is alert, able to communicate and responsive V - Verbal - the patient only responds to you when you speak to them P - Pain - The patient only responds when you apply a painful stimulus (such as pinching the trapezius muscle) U - No response at all. The patient is unconscious (or dead)
A triangle. Probably not ! Use a metric rule and draw this figure to scale to visualize its shape and size.<p></p><p> </p> Normally, the 3 dimensions represent length, width and height.

Centimeters, from the metric scale.
To find the resultant of 2 vectors, P and Q, let the ray AB represent the vector P. Let AB (not BA) be in the direction of P and let the length of AB represent the magnitude of P. Let BC represent the direction of Q and the length BC represent the magnitude of Q [on the same scale used for P and AB]. Then the straight line AC, which is the diagonal of the parallelogram with sides representing P and Q, is the resultant vector R, with magnitude and direction represented by AC.The vectors P and Q can also be represented as sides AB and AC. In that case you will need to complete the parallelogram and the resultant is represented by the diagonal through A.
