Question

You are treating a​ 36-year-old female patient who was involved in a motor vehicle crash. she was not wearing a seatbelt. a bystander states that the patient was initially unconscious at the scene before your arrival. there is no apparent external trauma aside from a bruise on the front of her head. is this a patient who should have a​ high-priority transport?

Answer 1

She was unconscious before the incident so something must have happened before it, also the bruise could result in brain damage.
