Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has increased intracranial pressure (ICP) following a closed head injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Place the client in a supine position. Placing the client in a supine position helps promote venous drainage from the brain, which can help reduce intracranial pressure. This position also helps maintain cerebral perfusion pressure.

Choice A is incorrect because log rolling can increase ICP due to the movement involved.
Choice B is incorrect as coughing and deep breathing can also raise ICP.
Choice C is incorrect because a warming blanket can lead to vasodilation and increased blood flow to the brain, potentially worsening ICP.
