AVPU
While doing QA I have see several "unresponsive" patients that seemed to moan because they are hurting, or moan when moving. If you moan, you are not unresponsive.

Walking Patients
When you are walking a patient that is short of breath, in severe pain, having pain to hip down to toes, and you walk them, I think it would be best if you put how far you walked them.
While it may be a documentation request, I see this alot and I think its going to be more of a patient care investigation. If you have a patient with severe dyspnea, and you write walked to cot, I will probably be following that up and find out why you walked someone in distress.
I am a realist and know most people walk. But that doesn't mean that a person with leg pain or hip pain should. I think there is a difference between walking a patient 3 step and through 2 rooms, downs a set of stairs, and to the waiting cot.
I cringe every time I see this wondering how far did they actually walk the patient with chest pain rather than take a few minutes to get a stair chair. Thereby increasing the myocardial oxygen demand on the heart.

ALS Assessment
Reminder that an ALS Assessment must be documented in the narrative on every patient except returns.
ALS Assessment should be documented in the flow chart on every patient except returns.
Suggestions:
for ALS Staff: "ALS Assessment revealed..."
for BLS Staff: "ALS Assessment performed by (Title) (Last Name)."
