An 86-yeаr-оld client presents tо the emergency depаrtment (ED) with the chief cоmplаint of headache. The client describes the headache as sudden in onset 4 hours ago, located in the front of the head, and with pain that is constant, stabbing, and unrelieved by acetaminophen extra-strength 1000 mg. The client is accompanied by an adult family member, who reports that the client sustained a fall 2 days ago; the family member thinks it is possible that the client hit their head on a piece of furniture. The family member has noticed periods of confusion in the client since the fall and states that they have been uncomfortable leaving the client alone since that time. The family member reports that the confusion seems to be worsening and that they are concerned about an injury from the fall and concerned for the client’s safety. The ED physician examines the client and notes the presence of ipsilateral dilation (widening of the pupil on the same side of the body) of the right pupil and prescribes a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain to rule out a subdural hematoma. While waiting for the CT scan, the licensed practical nurse (LPN) assisting in caring for the client is directed to manage care based on the head injury.
