Q

Which should NOT be a treatment for a person who has received a head injury and is groggy or unconscious?

🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid for head injuries (especially when the person is unconscious or groggy) • Risks of increasing bleeding or brain pressure inside the skull • Standard treatments for shock and severe bleeding

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which option could make brain swelling or internal bleeding in the head worse? • Think about what you are allowed to give (or not give) by mouth or as a drug to an unconscious or semi-conscious casualty. • Consider which actions are basic first-aid priorities in ANY serious injury situation (airway, breathing, circulation).

✅ Before You Answer

• For an unconscious or groggy patient, verify what is safe to put into their mouth or bloodstream. • Check which measures are standard first aid steps: controlling bleeding and treating for shock are usually priorities. • Consider whether elevating the head is generally harmful or helpful for a head injury victim, compared to giving any kind of drug or stimulant.
