How to write these
Hi. Please help. Is it correct to place a comma before a phrase like the one below? Should we place a semicolon or possibly start a new sentence? Let's say the preceding part tells what a person (like a nurse or medical professional) to do when an injury (likely due to a fall) occurs.
1. ..., for example, if he falls down and injures his head, check to see whether he takes any medicine.
2. ...; for example, if he falls down and injures his head, check to see whether he takes any medicine.
3. ... For example, if he falls down and injures his head, check to see whether he takes any medicine
Also, if something like the previous example contains the phrase "that is" instead of "for example," which way would you write the part that begins with "that is"?
I am sorry but could you help me with this too? Is this sentence correct? Please see the underlined part. Thank you for your help in advance.

Thank you. I want to say I am not a medical professional and don't know pretty much anything about medicine or medical procedures. And the partial sentences and the context for them were artificial and made-up to ask grammar questions.
