Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for the older adult client with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Which treatment measure should the nurse anticipate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A carotid endarterectomy involves removal of plaque from the carotid artery. NPH is treated with the placement of a permanent shunt in a lateral ventricle of the brain to the peritoneal cavity. The excess CSF drains into the peritoneal cavity. A lumbar drain can be used to remove CSF with disorders that increase CSF in the subarachnoid space in the lumbar area; this does not remain permanently. Anticonvulsant medications are used to treat seizures.
