Which should NOT be a treatment for a person who has received a head injury and is groggy or unconscious?

A Treat for shock.
B Elevate his head.
C Stop severe bleeding.
D Give a stimulant.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Give a stimulant. Giving a stimulant to a person who has received a head injury and is groggy or unconscious should not be done. Stimulants can further aggravate the injury and potentially worsen the person's condition. Instead, the recommended treatments are to treat for shock (A), elevate the head (B), and stop any severe bleeding (C). These actions help stabilize the person and prevent further complications from the head injury. Administering a stimulant, on the other hand, could disrupt the body's natural response and lead to additional harm.
