    The patient presented with complaints of dizziness and nausea. An assessment found increased intracranial pressure evidenced by vomiting and altered consciousness. The plan is for 2 hours of nursing interventions to stabilize vital signs and minimize increased ICP signs, followed by 3 days of interventions to improve consciousness. Interventions include elevating the head, dangling legs before standing, monitoring for Cushing's triad, and administering medications to reduce ICP.
