By Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC | July 24, 2019

As a legal nurse consultant, you may be asked to work on cases involving patients with head injuries. These can occur in all kinds of settings, both within and outside healthcare facilities.

Let’s head into the emergency department. Head injuries are responsible for almost a half million visits to the emergency departments (ED) in the United States. Of those, more that 75% are considered mild traumatic brain injuries and many of those are due to falls.

Listen in as Pat Iyer chats about these points

  • Why are kids such frequent visitors to the ED?
  • What are the differences between treating an adult or child with a head injury?
  • Why the nurse needs to look at the interaction between the child and also the caregiver
  • Tips that will help you as a legal nurse consultant review the emergency department record of a patient who has fallen
