If no problems are found during the assessment, what is the recommended action?

Explanation:
When the initial assessment finds no problems, the aim is to verify they can safely regain normal function and continue with activity while you keep an eye on them. Helping the person to stand (with support if needed) lets you confirm their balance and strength and see how they respond to moving from a seated position. This movement check helps ensure there isn’t a hidden issue that only shows up when they stand or walk. Keeping them seated and just observing might miss subtle changes that appear with movement, and unnecessary transport isn’t indicated if they remain stable. If at any point they feel dizzy, weak, or unsteady while standing, lower them to a safe surface and reassess or seek help.
