You have been called by family members for their mother who is "not acting right." On scene the family informs you that they are concerned because their 68-year-old mother has been complaining of a headache for two days and is now very confused. When asking about a bruise on the right side of her forehead, the family states she fell in church a week ago and hit her head. Since all other aspects of the assessment are unremarkable, you suspect a head injury. What condition would you suspect given the findings and history?
A) Subdural hematomaB) Battle's signC) ConcussionD) Cerebral contusion

A) option is correct
