Extract:

5-year-old child with meningitis.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 5 year old child with meningitis. Which of the following signs or symptoms may indicate increased intracranial pressure in this child?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Headache and vomiting. In a child with meningitis, increased intracranial pressure can lead to symptoms like headache and vomiting. Headache is a common sign of intracranial pressure due to the stretching of pain-sensitive structures within the brain. Vomiting can occur due to the pressure on the brainstem, which regulates vomiting reflex. Fever and photophobia (choice
A) are common symptoms of meningitis but not specific to increased intracranial pressure. Increased heart rate and respiratory rate (choice
B) are signs of physiological stress but are not directly related to intracranial pressure. Bulging anterior fontanelle (choice
D) is more indicative of increased intracranial pressure in infants, not in a 5-year-old child.
