Question 1 of 5
The client has a sustained increased intracranial pressure (ICP) of 20 mm Hg. Which client position would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Elevating the head of the bed 30 to 45 degrees promotes venous drainage from the brain, reducing ICP. Trendelenburg's position increases ICP by impeding venous return, Sims position is unrelated to ICP management, and pillows may not ensure consistent elevation or neutral neck alignment.
