Correct Answer:
Intracranial bleed

☑️This occurs due to compression of brain tissue and impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
☑️Other manifestations include nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, and neurological deficits.
☑️Early identification of headache in a client at risk for bleeding is critical to prevent herniation and permanent brain damage.
