If a patient vomits after falling, it's important to assess their condition immediately. Check for signs of head injury, such as confusion or loss of consciousness, and monitor for any breathing difficulties. Keep the patient in a safe position, ideally on their side, to prevent choking. Seek medical attention if there are any concerns about serious injuries or if vomiting persists.
