💭 Think About

• Which options might risk moving the neck or spine after a head injury? • Which choices could increase blood flow or pressure to the head, and is that desirable after a blow to the head? • Is it generally safe to give food or drink to someone with a suspected concussion or possible loss of consciousness?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option best protects the airway while avoiding unnecessary head/neck movement. • Eliminate any choices that change head position in an extreme way (too high or too low) or might increase brain pressure. • Rule out any option that involves giving oral fluids to a person who may vomit or lose consciousness.
