Question 1 of 5

The client with a closed head injury is admitted to the neurointensive care department following a motor-vehicle accident. Which goal is an appropriate short-term goal for the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Maintaining ICP <15 mm Hg is a critical short-term goal in head injury to prevent brain damage, per neuro ICU standards.

Question 2 of 5

The client who has had a cold for the last week is complaining of congestion and a stuffy nose. The client has been using medicated nasal spray several times a day. Which information should the nurse teach the client about frequent use of nasal spray?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Frequent use of decongestant nasal sprays (e.g., Afrin) causes rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) due to vasoconstrictor overuse, requiring education. OTC sprays have risks, adverse reactions exist, and alternating sprays is not standard.
