An 8-year-old child is brought to the emergency department by ambulance after being involved in a motor vehicle collision. The finding of decreased level of consciousness would suggest that immediate intervention is needed.
<h3>What are the different levels of consciousness?</h3>
When a person is awake, conscious of their environment, and able to think, speak, move, and react properly, they are said to be conscious.
A person has decreased awareness when they appear to be awake and aware of their environment but are <u>not acting normally</u>. When unconscious, a person might<u> not respond to questions</u>,<u> look straight ahead</u>, or<u> make any </u><u>facial expressions</u>. Others could assume that the individual is acting strange, dazed, or confused. The person might not remember what happened in the future.
When someone is unconscious, they are <u>not aware of what is happening </u>and are <u>unable to react </u>appropriately to what is happening to them and others around them.
