A nurse is caring for a 4 year old client with a closed head injury. Changes in vital signs and altered mental status are some clinical manifestations would suggest deterioration in this client's condition.

Clinical signs of deterioration in this patient's condition are :

  • changes in vital signs
  • altered mental status
  • increased intracranial pressure
  • altered pupillary response, postural
  • bradycardia, decreased motor response
  • decreased sensory response
  • Cheyne-Stokes respiration
  • coma

A closed head injury is an injury to the head that does not cause a skull fracture.

Strenuous movement can damage the  brain and soft tissues. This can cause bleeding and swelling in the head.  

Deterioration is a process of progressive degradation.  

The main factors influencing the risk of exacerbation in  patients with brain injury are age, anticoagulant therapy, and early GCS.  

These studies also showed that the presence of the centerline shift/mass effect indicated adverse outcomes. In contrast, patients with isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage (iSAH) have the lowest risk of side effects.

Answer:

Calories: 28%

Total Fat: 46%

Saturated Fat: 50%

Protein: 50%

Fiber: 12%

Carbohydrates: 16%

Explanation:

Not sure exactly what the actual work was. The only calculation I had to do, was the percentage of calories from the burger, to the diet (560 of 2,000)

Keep In Note!

All nutrition labels are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Since this is so, the company has already given the percentage of daily intake on the label. You just have to write down whatever the percentage is on the right side.

I hope I was able to be of some assistance. If forever what reason I am wrong with my answer, I give you my sincere apologies. It was not intended.
