An 80-year-old client with a history of heavy alcohol use is being seen by his provider for drowsiness, confusion, and headache. his family states that he fell and hit his head "several weeks ago." which type of hematoma does the provider suspect?

Chronic subdural hematoma

Explanation:

According to my research on studies made by different medical professionals,  It is said that Hematoma is generally defined as a collection of blood outside of blood vessels. There are different types of hematoma. The one described in the question fits the description of Chronic subdural hematoma. This is a type of hematoma that is located under the covering of the brain (dura) and it begins to form several days or weeks after receiving a head injury.
