title: Case report.
abstract: The nursing care of a patient following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is challenging and multifaceted. Physical and emotional support through the acute period following the insult and preparation for the rehabilitative process are among the early goals of care. This case report provides a detailed interpretation of the physical and behavioral responses experienced by a patient following SAH. Included are nursing interventions formulated by the interpretation of these responses.
