Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client who is at risk of cerebral aneurysm rupture. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the care plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining the head of the bed between 30 and 45° is correct because it helps reduce intracranial pressure by promoting venous drainage from the brain, thus decreasing the risk of cerebral aneurysm rupture or rebleeding. Keeping lights at a medium level is not specific to preventing aneurysm rupture, hypotonic solutions can increase intracranial pressure, and repositioning does not directly address the risk of rupture.
