Question

If you suspect that the person has a concussion, in addition to having them stop the activity they were doing and rest without moving, which of the following are part of the care you should give? - Maintain the person's body temperature- emergency action steps

- Give care for other injuries that may be present- move the person to a warm place

Answer 1

Answer: Give care for other injuries that may be present and Maintain the person's body temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Give care for other injuries that may be present- evaluate the person to see if they sustained any injuries from the activity and treat as needed.

Maintain the person's body temperature- brain injuries may potentially cause problems with temperature regulation, making it harder for survivors to control their body temperature. Studies show that hypothermic and hyperthermic conditions hinder the brain's ability to heal.
