Question 1 of 5

A child experienced a basilar skull fracture that resulted in the presence of Battle's sign. Which should the nurse expect to observe in the child?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The most serious type of skull fracture is a basilar skull fracture. Two classic findings associated with this type of skull fracture are Battle's sign and raccoon eyes. Battle's sign is the presence of bruising or ecchymosis behind the ear caused by a leaking of blood into the mastoid sinuses. Raccoon eyes occur as a result of blood leaking into the frontal sinus and causing an edematous and bruised periorbital area.
