Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who is postoperative following ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct position for a child post VP shunt placement is Semi-Fowler's. This position helps reduce intracranial pressure by promoting venous return and improving cerebral perfusion. Trendelenburg position would increase intracranial pressure. Prone position can impede shunt function. Placing the child on the unoperated side does not specifically address postoperative care needs.
