Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing Cushing's Triad following a subdural hematoma. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mannitol. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that helps reduce intracranial pressure, which is crucial in managing a subdural hematoma. Cushing's Triad includes hypertension, bradycardia, and irregular respirations due to increased intracranial pressure. Mannitol helps decrease cerebral edema, improving cerebral perfusion and reducing the risk of herniation. Hydroxyethyl glucose, Albumin, and Dextran 70 are not typically used for reducing intracranial pressure in this situation.
