    When a client comes into the emergency room (er) after hitting his head while playing any sport, if he is alert and oriented. immobilize the client's head and neck would be a priority nursing intervention, because a head injury is treated as if a cervical spine injury is present until x-rays confirm their absence, then call for an immediate head computed tomography to look for any spine or head injury.
