3. They likely have had a previous recent concussion.
Mild TBI (or mTBI) is associated with distinctive symptoms that typically occur immediately after
injury. Most of these symptoms resolve within a short period of time (2 - 4 weeks), with only
10% - 15% of persons experiencing persistent problems after that point. - CORRECT ANSWERS

The MOST common complaint after mTBI, and the PRIMARY reason for patients seeking
medical attention is [complaint1]. - CORRECT ANSWERS headaches
10% - 15% of those who sustain mTBI have a slow or incomplete resolution of symptoms and
may develop Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms (PPCS).
Please select all statements below that are true for PPCS. - CORRECT ANSWERS **All EXCEPT
GCS of 3-8
Symptoms associated with PPCS are nonspecific, and can be attributed to causes other than
mTBI.
Rick factors for PPCS include: over 40, female, traumatically injured, low socioeconomic status,
history of substance abuse, pending litigation, and previous psych history.
Presence of headache, dizziness, or nausea; post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than an hour.
There is a general consensus that a cumulative effect exists which negatively affects resolution
of concussion symptoms.
Treatment should always include a neuropsychological assessment.
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a rare, progressive, degenerative condition of the
central nervous system, and is typically seen in repetitive brain trauma. In CTE, diffuse axonal
injury causes release of Tau proteins, which are located in the axons of neurons. - CORRECT
