Abstract

Sports-related concussions are a major public health concern for children, parents, and health care providers. Effective management of sports-related concussions in children and adolescents requires timely and accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Advance practice nursing textbooks often do not address sport-related concussions. Although nurse practitioners routinely care for these patients, they may not have adequate education or training to diagnose and manage them. It is essential to close the gap in education by providing up-to-date recommendations and guidelines for diagnosis and management. Current research and recommendations are presented to facilitate nurse practitioner education about sport-related concussion.
