What is a common consequence of frontal bone fractures requiring patient education after discharge?

Food poisoning
Headaches
Increased sensitivity to light
Tinnitus

The correct answer is: Food poisoning

A common consequence of frontal bone fractures is the development of headaches. These injuries can lead to various issues, including pain and discomfort in the head region due to inflammation, irritation of the meninges, or even post-traumatic headaches. It's important for patients to understand that headaches can persist after a skull fracture and may require management and follow-up care. While other options, such as increased sensitivity to light and tinnitus, can also occur after head injuries, they are not as distinctly associated with frontal bone fractures as headaches are. Patient education should focus on understanding the potential for prolonged headaches, recognizing when to seek medical attention, and exploring treatment options to improve their quality of life after discharge.
