A nurse is caring for a child who has undergone a Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement procedure.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize for this child?

This is the priority because vital signs provide crucial information about the child's physiological status, helping identify any early signs of deterioration. Monitoring vital signs regularly allows for timely intervention if there are any abnormalities, ensuring the child's safety and well-being. Administering pain medication (

B) and encouraging ambulation (
