Answer:

Risk for injury

Explanation:

  • Whenever there is a blow to the head which results in the jarring of the brain this is called a concussion.
  • A concussion can result from either falling, striking the head against a hard surface, being hit on the head due to collision or a punching, etc.
  • In the given situation the client is feeling disoriented and restless after suffering from concussion and hence, the highest priority in the nursing diagnosis should be given to assess the risk for any injury that might have occurred following the concussion.
  • This is because following a concussion that has led to the trauma to the brain there is a high probability that the brain will have an injury either while recovering or at the moment and hence, the symptoms such as restlessness and disorientation should not be ignored.

When an orginism is repredused by budding, how does the new organism start growing?
Finger [1]
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent.

Early on, it appears as part of the parent given that it does not detach until it has grown further. Ultimately, the new individual, which resembles the parent, detaches and becomes an independent organism.
