A MIST report documents MOI, injuries sustained, signs and symptoms, and what else?

• A. MOI, Injury sustained, Signs and symptoms, Treatments
• B. MOI, Injury, Signs and Symptoms, Treatments
• C. Mechanism of Injury, Injury sustained, Signs and symptoms, Treatments
• D. MOI, Injury sustained, Signs and symptoms, Therapies

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is what four elements a MIST report includes in field medical documentation. In MIST, you record Mechanism of Injury (often abbreviated MOI), Injuries sustained, Signs and symptoms, and Treatments. The best choice matches those four components exactly: MOI, Injury sustained, Signs and symptoms, Treatments. It uses the common MOI shorthand, keeps the injury item aligned with the idea of multiple injuries, includes the observed signs and symptoms, and ends with Treatments—the actions taken to manage the casualty.

The other options miss one part or use different terminology: Therapies isn’t the standard term used in MIST documentation; Mechanism of Injury is spelled out rather than abbreviated, which isn’t the conventional form shown in the stem; and using a singular Injury instead of Injuries (even though the meaning is similar) isn’t the standard phrasing for the mnemonic.
