Question 1 of 5
Evidence has demonstrated that we can do a great deal to prevent and minimize the occurrence of CTE (Concussion Traumatic Encephalopathy), damage due to repetitive head injuries. Which of the answers below are true:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A
Rationale:
1. Concussions can occur without losing consciousness, as they are caused by a sudden jolt to the head.
2. Loss of consciousness is not a definitive indicator of a concussion.
3. Symptoms of a concussion can vary and may not always include loss of consciousness.
4. Just because someone doesn't lose consciousness doesn't mean they haven't sustained a concussion.
Summary of other choices:
B: This is incorrect because not all concussions result in permanent brain damage. Recovery is possible with proper management.
C: While hydration is important for overall health, encouraging fluids after a concussion is not a specific prevention or treatment method for CTE.
D: Bleeding does not always occur with a concussion. Concussions involve functional brain injury rather than structural damage like bleeding.
