Correct answer
A possible spinal or spinal-cord injury requiring urgent assessment.
A possible spinal or spinal-cord injury, among other injuries: urgent assessment is required. Call 112 and follow instructions. Do not test with needles or ask the person to move their limbs to check; avoid unnecessary movement. Unconsciousness alone does not diagnose spinal-cord injury. If they become unresponsive, call immediately and assess breathing; if breathing is not normal, start CPR following 112 instructions. Airway care and life-saving measures take priority.
