What are you using as the NANDA?
The only thing I would change is what I bolded. The way I read that line it should say assess the patients ability.....
You know it's a patient so state that.
Other than that it looks fine to me.

What semester are you? From my experience (don't know if this is expected for anyone else), when writing care plans, always ask yourself how and include it and when (q2h, q4h, etc.) List the medication you are giving to help with that diagnosis and assess for s/e as well as therapeutic effects (give examples). Hope that helps.

You mentioned before that this is an ER patient, right? When I have an acute bleeder, I watch for the airway and keep an eye on the LOC and vital signs, and get them out to a facility that has neurosurgery ASAP.
Your rationales sound good. Stick to the ABC's, find your NANDA labels and apply all your information. Nice work, you are almost done!

"monitor skin integrity and a provide a turning schedule to prevent skin breakdown" has nothing to do with your objectives of care which are to maintain a patent airway and maintain cerebral perfusion. It, in fact, does not belong with this diagnosis. It has to do with skin integrity. You need to remove it.
"administer prescribed medication to treat underlying cause"--What do you mean by underlying cause? I think you can be specific about what you are going to give medication to this patient for: elevated BP or to control hemorrhage.
