To sign 'you okay', start by forming an 'O' handshape with your dominant hand. Smoothly transition into a 'K' handshape while moving your hand slightly forward toward the person you are asking. Be sure to raise your eyebrows and tilt your head slightly forward, as this facial expression is essential for asking a yes/no question in ASL.
Use this sign with raised eyebrows and a slight head tilt to ask someone directly if they are alright.
After signing that the person looks sick, use the 'you okay' sign to check in on them, maintaining a concerned facial expression.
Following the sign for 'hurt', use 'you okay' to ask if they need help. The forward motion of the 'O-K' directs the question to them.

No, you don't need a separate sign for 'you.' The forward movement of the 'O-K' handshape naturally directs the question to the person you are talking to.
In ASL, yes/no questions are indicated by facial expressions. Make sure to raise your eyebrows, widen your eyes slightly, and tilt your head forward while signing.
To answer 'I am okay,' you would sign 'O-K' without the forward movement and without the questioning facial expression. You can simply sign 'O-K' in your normal signing space with a slight nod.
