Describe an injury in which you would allow an athlete to play even when she is in the acute phase of rehab.

What will be an ideal response?

There is no single right answer for this but the scenario the student presents should meet these criteria:
Injury does not pose risk to performance – e.g. wrist injury to a cross country runner
Situation poses minimal risk for further injury – e.g. cut that can be covered and protected. She has little chance for developing lasting consequences – e.g. contusions may hurt but there is rarely a concern for lasting damage
