    AbstractDuring the past two decades the subject of severe head injury has received much time, attention, and research funding. Although the number of persons in the United States suffering minor head injury is at least four times greater than the number with severe head injury, it has received less attention and resource allocation. The patient with minor head injury presents a clinically different picture as compared to severe head injury; posttraumatic problems also differ. Nursing care differs accordingly and will be the focus of this article.
