Closed Head Injury

This Simulated Patient Encounter maps to Scenario PED 20 – Cooper Madison – Closed Head Injury – School Age – Seizure Management on the Elsevier Evolve Platform

Cooper Madison, a 6-year-old Caucasian male, arrived at the emergency department with a closed head injury and concussion. A CT scan indicated possible skull fracture and subdural hematoma. Cooper was admitted to the pediatric unit and showed signs of decreasing consciousness overnight. During this scenario, learners must manage and implement nursing interventions for this pediatric patient.
