Infant with myelomeningocele


Question 1 of 5

The nurse reports to the healthcare provider signs of increased intracranial pressure in an infant with myelomeningocele who has which finding?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: A fontanelle that bulges with crying. This is indicative of increased intracranial pressure, as the fontanelle bulging occurs due to the pressure within the skull rising with crying. The fontanelle is a soft spot on an infant's head where the skull bones have not yet fused, making it a sensitive indicator of intracranial pressure changes. Increased respiratory rate (
B), high-pitched cry (
C), and tachycardia (
D) can be associated with various conditions in infants but are not specific signs of increased intracranial pressure.
