Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When assessing a patient who has a right frontal lobe tumor, what finding should the nurse expect? The frontal lobe controls intellectual activities such as judgment. Speech is controlled in the parietal lobe. Weakness and hemiplegia occur on the contralateral side from the tumor.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a subdural hematoma, the blood seeps between the dura and the arachnoid layers. It collects inside the brain’s tough outer lining. This bleeding often comes from a blood vessel that breaks within the space around the brain. This most often happens because of a head injury.
