A. LacerationExplanation
A laceration is a cut or tear in the skin, and it is not a symptom of a head injury. Symptoms of a head injury may include a headache, blood or other fluids in the ears or nose, and drowsiness. Lacerations are typically caused by external trauma to the skin, such as a cut from a sharp object, and are not directly related to a head injury.Rate this question:

False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Elevating the head can increase blood flow to the head. This can be problematic in certain situations, such as when a person has a head injury or is experiencing a migraine or headache. By keeping the head in a neutral position, blood flow to the head is not increased, which can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications. Therefore, the statement "Do not elevate the head as it might increase blood flow to the head" is true.Rate this question:
