The patient presented with an altered mental status due to a head injury from a vehicular accident. Nursing objectives were to stabilize vital signs, prevent regression, and increase the Glasgow Coma Scale. Interventions included monitoring, quiet environment, restricted activity, medication administration, and family education. The expected outcomes of independent and dependent nursing interventions were met, as the patient demonstrated stable condition and increased Glasgow Coma Scale, and the family understood the condition and provided support.
