1
Understand what a concussion is: a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head that can affect brain function.
Recognize that preventing concussions involves minimizing the risk of head injuries, especially during activities where impacts are common, such as contact sports.
Evaluate each option by considering whether it reduces the likelihood or severity of head impacts: ignoring safety rules increases risk, avoiding all physical activity is impractical and unnecessary, and relying solely on pain medication does not prevent injury.
Identify that wearing appropriate protective headgear during contact sports is designed to absorb and reduce the force of impacts, thereby effectively helping to prevent concussions.
Conclude that among the options, wearing protective headgear is the effective preventive measure because it directly addresses the cause of concussions by protecting the head.
