AVPU stands for?

• A. AVPU stands for Alert, responds to Voice, responds to Pain, Unresponsive.
• B. Alert, responds to Voice, responds to Pressure, Unresponsive.
• C. Alert, responds to Pain, responds to Voice, Unresponsive.
• D. Awake, responds to Voice, responds to Pain, Unresponsive.

Answer: (A)

AVPU is a quick way to gauge consciousness, describing four levels of responsiveness. It breaks down as Alert (fully awake), responds to Voice (responds to verbal stimuli but not fully alert), responds to Pain (only reacts to a painful stimulus), and Unresponsive (no response at all). The correct option lists exactly these four states in that order: Alert, responds to Voice, responds to Pain, Unresponsive. Other options mix in a term not part of AVPU (such as Pressure), use nonstandard wording (Awake instead of Alert), or swap the order of Voice and Pain, which changes what each level means.
