Read the case study below and then chart
select the following signs and
symptoms consistent with increased
intracranial pressure.
, Kaylee, (preferred pronouns: she, her), Bleeding into the subarachnoid space
a teenager, was riding her bike when Bleeding into the subdural space
she fell and hit her head. She was not
wearing a helmet. She had abrasions
on both knees. Two hours later, she
was experiencing nausea with
vomiting, a severe headache, and was
mildly confused. Her pupils are dilated
and slowly react to light. The
healthcare provider mentioned that
Kaylee had papilledema. Her vital
signs included a blood pressure of
