The Nurse Is Aware That the Older Adult Is More

The nurse is aware that the older adult is more at risk for a cranial bleed following a head injury because the older adult has:

A) a smaller brain, which allows for more movement inside the cranium.
B) fragile vessels more likely to rupture.
C) less cerebrospinal fluid to cushion the brain.
D) less flexibility of the meninges to absorb impact.
