A baseball player was hit in the head with a bat during practice. In the emergency department, the health care provider tells the family that the client has a “coup” injury. How will the nurse explain this to the family so they can understand? “It is like squeezing an orange so tight that the juice runs out of the top.” “Your family member has a contusion of the brain at the site where the bat hit their head.” “Your family member has a huge laceration inside their brain where the bat hit their skull.” “When the bat hit their head, the neck jerked backward, causing injury to the spine.”
