Sharon is a 32-year-old horse trainer. While training a young horse, she was thrown off of the horse and suffered a mild head injury. The nurse inquires about the use of a helmet. Sharon replies, "This is the first time I have ever had a head injury from a horse. I don't think I need a helmet"; Based on your understanding of the skull, how should the nurse respond to the patient?
What will be an ideal response?
The skull is the body's most complex bony structure. It is formed by cranial and facial bones. The cranial bones, or cranium, enclose and protect the fragile brain. A helmet would add extra protection in sports where there is an increased risk for head injury.
