The daughter of an older adult calls the emergency department (ED) triage nurse and reports that her mother hit her head “very hard” while getting into the car about 10 minutes ago. There is no bleeding. The daughter asks what she should watch for in her mother. How should the nurse respond?
1. “As long as she does not develop a severe headache she is probably okay. Be sure to bring her to the ED if that happens.”
2. “As long as your mother does not begin vomiting she is probably not severely injured. If she does begin to vomit, bring her in immediately.”
3. “Watch her for the next hour or two. If she seems okay after that she is not likely to have a severe injury. Bring her in to the ED if you are concerned.”
4. “In older adults the changes are very subtle and can develop over several hours or even days. Bring her to the ED if you have any concerns.”
