From personal experience in being a dumb-ass, if they get a hard hit to the front of the head, one likely medium-term damage effect is raccoon eyes bruising and swelling that will take a couple of weeks to go down (but takes about 24 hours to fully develop). Painful and VERY noticeable.
Welfare check might include checking to see if the pupils dilate appropriately, if they match in size, if they remember what happened, if there are any squishy spots in the skull, if there's clear fluid or blood coming from the nose or ears.
Wakeup might be--hey, I'm awake! ...why does everything hurt and why are things sort of blurry? Why can't I remember what happened? (A few minutes to an hour of memory loss prior is likely.)
