طفل بعد إصابة رأس بسيطة، والأهل يسألون إن كان يجب إيقاظه طوال الليل. ما النصيحة الصحيحة غالباً؟

After a minor head injury, parents ask whether to keep their child awake all night. What is the usual correct advice?

1. Give him a sedative so he rests
2. He may sleep, with occasional checks he rouses
3. Keep him awake for 48 hours straight to observe him
4. Wake him every 10 minutes all night

Answer: B) He may sleep, with occasional checks he rouses. After minor injury a child may sleep, with observation of breathing and colour and occasional waking as instructed to check responsiveness. Difficulty waking or repeated vomiting means immediate return.
