Which statement about concussion symptoms is true?

• A. It always involves loss of consciousness
• B. It is never associated with headaches
• C. It may involve multiple symptoms such as headache, dizziness, or confusion
• D. It is only temporary and never requires medical assessment

Answer: (C)

Concussion symptoms come in a variety and can show up together. You don’t need to lose consciousness for a concussion to be present, and headaches are common but not the only symptom. In fact, many athletes experience multiple symptoms at once—such as headache, dizziness, and confusion—rather than a single, isolated sign. Because symptoms can be immediate or delayed and can evolve, the statement that it may involve multiple symptoms best captures how concussions present in real life. It’s also important to seek medical assessment and follow proper return-to-play guidelines, since even mild symptoms can indicate a concussion that needs careful management.
