    A CT scan performed on 7/1/12 showed a 7cc acute bleed in the left basal ganglia region of the brain with minimal swelling. A small bleed was also seen in the left hemipons. This explained the patient's paralysis on the right side of the body. Nursing responsibilities included instructing the patient to fast before the scan, obtaining consent, removing metals, comforting during the brief procedure, applying warm compresses if bleeding occurred, and monitoring for allergic reactions to dye.
