Answer to Question 1

If the athlete has no signs or symptoms of a head or neck injury, he or she may be assisted to a sitting position. Reevaluate the situation while the athlete is seated, checking for dizziness and evaluating the athlete's coherence. Bring the athlete to a standing position, and recheck to make sure there is no change in signs or symptoms. If everything appears to be alright while the athlete is standing, assist the athlete back to the bench for a better assessment of the injury. If at any time the signs and symptoms change, help the patient lie down and call EMS.

Answer to Question 2
