Question 2 of 5
A client with a head injury has an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitor in place. Cerebral perfusion pressure calculations are ordered. If the client's ICP is 22 and the mean pressure reading is 70, what is the client's cerebral perfusion pressure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) = Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) - ICP. Given MAP = 70 and ICP = 22, CPP = 70 - 22 = 48. Thus, the answer is 48.

The nurse receives an order to administer 1,500 mL D5W IV over 12 hours. The drop factor is 15 drops/1 mL. The IV flow rate should be set at how many drops per minute? Round to the nearest whole number.
Correct Answer: 31
Rationale: Flow rate (drops/min) = (volume × drop factor) ÷ time. Calculation: (1,500 mL × 15 drops/mL) ÷ (12 × 60) = 22,500 ÷ 720 ≈ 31 drops/min.
