Depends on extent : If she fell, the staff must be notified if she's not already on fall precautions, esp. W/history of dementia.If they drilled a hole, she must be on a ns floor.Banging the corner of the eyebrow can be serious ; needs to be examined by the neurosurgeon, neurologist, and/or ophthalmology service(s) to consult on whether further imaging is needed.Talk to her doctors for further details ; recommendatns.
