Which of the following is NOT part of the AMPLE history?

• A. Allergies
• B. Medications
• C. Occupation
• D. Last meal

Answer: (C)

AMPLE history in trauma care is a quick medical history used to surface factors that can influence immediate management. It includes Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last meal, and Events surrounding the injury. Occupation is not part of this mnemonic. While social history like occupation can be important in broader care, AMPLE focuses on medical factors that affect treatment decisions—such as whether the patient has allergies, what medications they are taking, prior medical conditions that change risk or needs, and whether they’ve eaten recently (which affects aspiration risk during airway management). So the item that does not fit the AMPLE history is occupation.
