Question 1 of 5
Which intervention would the nurse implement as the priority when providing care for a patient with a ventriculostomy to measure increased intra-cranial pressure (ICP) caused by a brain tumor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Strict aseptic technique with all procedural dressing changes is the priority intervention. A ventriculostomy is an invasive procedure that introduces the risk of infection, which can significantly worsen the patient's condition. Preventing infection is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the ventriculostomy and ensuring accurate ICP measurements.
