A patient came into the ED following a car accident. Examination revealed the following: Vitals: Temperature 98.8; Respirations 24, shallow; BP 101/54; GCS 13 The ED doctor noted the patient would open her eyes to pain but as the examination continued and questions were asked, the patient responded with inappropriate words. It was also noted that the patient had abdominal flexion. The patient had a CT scan of the head, since a large gash was seen on the forehead, and a subdural hematoma was identified. What discrepancy is noted in this documentation? O A laceration does not provide medical necessity for performing the CT scan of the head. O The Glasgow Coma Scale Score is incorrect – it should have been lower. There was no documentation of a concussion, which accompanies subdural hematomas. • The Glasgow Coma Scale Score is incorrect – it should have been higher.
