Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stabilizing the cervical spine should be the main concern as there is a risk of spinal cord injury after a collision causing unconsciousness. Moving the player without stabilizing the neck could result in further injury or even paralysis. Once the neck is stabilized, other assessments such as checking for bleeding or pupil response can be done. Stopping epistaxis is not a priority in this scenario.
