• Description:
  Revised August 2019
  
  Use this checklist to monitor students who come to your office with a head injury. Students should be monitored for a minimum of 30 minutes. Check for signs or symptoms when the student first arrives at your office, 15 minutes later, and at the end of 30 minutes.
  
  Students who experience one or more of the signs or symptoms of concussion after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head should be referred to a healthcare professional with experience in evaluating for concussion. For those instances when a parent is coming to take the student to a healthcare professional, observe the student for any new or worsening symptoms right before the student leaves. Send a copy of this checklist with the student for the healthcare professional to review.
