In the SAMPLE framework, which item is included?

• A. Last Meal Consumed
• B. Vital Signs
• C. Family History
• D. Immunization Status

Answer: (A)

Last meal consumed is included in the SAMPLE framework. SAMPLE stands for Signs and Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last meal, and Events leading up to the incident. The Last meal item is there to help assess aspiration risk if airway management or sedation is needed and to guide timing of procedures that require fasting. Vital signs belong to the broader assessment rather than the SAMPLE mnemonic, and immunization status or family history aren’t components of this particular framework.
