Sophia, your catcher, has just had a straight-on collision with a base runner at the plate, and she took a helmet right in the stomach. She's not getting up, but she's writhing on the ground. Even as you perform the emergency action steps and physical assessment, you suspect she's "had the wind knocked out of her," a common description of solar plexus spasm.

Select the best answer.

Sophia is showing all of the symptoms below. Which of them is probably not a sign of solar plexus spasm?

  • a. Her face appears red, and she's perspiring.
  • b. She's gripping just below her breastbone with both hands.
  • c. She can move all of her limbs, but she is frozen with a panicked expression.
  • d. She can't seem to inhale. She shakes her head "no" when you ask if she can breathe.
