And the poss dangerous area is that indicating its in a serious spot on the patient??? Not dangerous area where the patient is located.

dangerous eg. neck head(not alert) chest (with dyspnoea)
possibly dangerous eg. torso without dyspnoea head upper limbs groin back etc
non dangerous eg. fingers/toes lower limbs forearms etc..
