Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has hydrocephalus.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect to find?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dilated scalp veins. Dilated scalp veins are commonly seen in infants with hydrocephalus due to increased intracranial pressure. This occurs because the veins are trying to compensate for the pressure by dilating to allow more blood flow. This manifestation is a result of the underlying condition and is a key indicator for hydrocephalus. The other choices are not typically associated with hydrocephalus. B: A backward sloping appearance of the forehead is not a typical manifestation of hydrocephalus. C: Hypertension is not a common finding in infants with hydrocephalus. D: Over-riding suture lines are not specific to hydrocephalus and can be seen in other conditions as well.
