A 74-yeаr-оld mаle with а histоry оf hypertension and a 46 pack-year smoking history presents to the Emergency Department from an extended care facility with acute onset of headache, nausea, vomiting, and neck pain which started 6 hours ago and has persisted since. He is alert, but his baseline level of consciousness is slightly diminished per the nursing home staff. His temperature is 99.0°F, BP 164/94 mmHg, HR 90/min, RR 16/min, and O2sat (RA) 98%.
