Include consideration of the space chosen for conducting the program. Sports physical program format options include assembly line, station-based, and office-based. (Colyar & Dunphy, 2019). In this situation, station-based would effectively serve the needs of the students. Station based is most appropriate when performing a mass sports physical at a school or clinic. It requires multiple volunteers including physicians, nurse practitioners, nursing staff, and medical technicians. Stations include height and weight, blood pressure, visual acuity, general exam, cardiovascular exam, orthopedic screening, and review of history and final clearance (OSAA, 2021). Additional stations for risks and behaviors such as mental health, sexual health, and substance abuse issues can be added but are not always included due to their sensitive nature (OSAA, 2021). This approach is time efficient, cost-efficient, and allows the use of providers with specialized expertise (Colyar & Dunphy, 2019). Which space would be most appropriate to use for the program and why? For this program, the space that would be most appropriate to use is the facility’s large meeting space. This would allow the program to set up stations and see over 100 students in a large area allowing for more room and privacy. Station-based can sometimes be unorganized because of the multiple moving pieces of the puzzle, but I believe that a large facility with adequate space would allow for a more organized process. What are the drawbacks to the assembly-line format? The major drawbacks to the assembly line format include a limited time to review important medical history, lacks privacy and individual attention, and can create communication problems. It also involves a single provider to do all the work which limits the number of students who can be seen in a day. Which physical examination focus points could the nursing staff and medical technicians be assigned to complete? Nursing staff and medical technicians could be assigned to complete height and weight, blood pressure and vitals, history taking, visual acuity, and a head-to-toe exam. the physician can then focus on the cardiovascular exam, musculoskeletal exam, review of history, and final clearance. When the practitioner is preparing to advertise the program being offered, the local newspaper asks the practitioner to identify three of the main objectives of the sports physicals for an article. How would the practitioner respond? Three main objectives of the sports physicals are to determine the athlete is in general good health, assess the athlete’s present fitness level, and identify athletes at risk for injury (IBJI, 2019). These objectives allow the practitioner to promote safe sports participation by identifying high-risk situaions.
