Question
Your student is at Stage 4 of the Return to School strategy and is back to school part-time. She is working towards 240 minutes of cognitive activity in 45-60-minute intervals, but halfway through the day she complains her head hurts and feels nauseous. What do you do?A. Have her return to Stage 1 and rest for a maximum of 48 hours.B. Have her return to Stage 3 activities for at least 24 hours or until symptoms subside.C. Get her to push through – you do not want to go backwards on her concussion recovery.D. Review and reintroduce learning accommodations identified in the student’s Return to Learn plan as needed.E. Both B and D
Solution
The correct answer is E. Both B and D. If the student is experiencing symptoms such as headache and nausea, it is important to reduce cognitive activity to a level that does not exacerbate these symptoms (Option B). This could mean returning to Stage 3 activities. Additionally, it may be necessary to review and reintroduce learning accommodations identified in the student’s Return to Learn plan as needed (Option D). It's important to remember that recovery from a concussion is not a linear process and it's okay to move back stages if symptoms reappear.
