Assignment task:
Trauma to the brain is a common cause of motor and sensory symptoms, including brain damage, coma, and paralysis. Normally, the skull's thick bones and the tough outer membrane of the meninges (the dura) protect the brain. In addition, CSF acts as a shock absorber. However, violent blows to the head can cause several kinds of injury to the brain and skull. A major complication of head trauma is increased pressure within the brain. Numerous factors can cause swelling including hemorrhage, or an inflammatory process. Head injuries may be the cause of seizures and epilepsy later in life.
What are different types of head trauma, their associated clinical signs, and nursing interventions?
