An infant following a motor vehicle crash
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an infant following a motor vehicle crash. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor to identify increased intracranial pressure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased sleeping. Increased sleeping in an infant following a motor vehicle crash can indicate increased intracranial pressure. This is because the brain may be compensating for the injury by increasing sleep to aid in healing and reducing stress on the brain. Monitoring the infant's sleep patterns can provide valuable information on the status of intracranial pressure. Tachycardia (choice
A) may indicate shock or pain but is not specific to increased intracranial pressure. Brisk pupillary reaction to light (choice
C) is a normal finding and does not necessarily indicate increased intracranial pressure. Depressed fontanels (choice
D) suggest dehydration rather than increased intracranial pressure.
