The nurse is developing a plan of care for a child with autism. The nurse should identify which priority problem for this child? 1.Risk for injury 2.Inability to interact socially 3.Troubling thought processes 4.Inability to verbally communicate
Risk for injury Risk for injury related to an inability to anticipate danger, a tendency for self-mutilation, and sensory perceptual deficits are the priority concerns. Inability to interact socially, troubling thought processes, and inability to verbally communicate are also appropriate problems for the child with autism, but the priority is the risk for injury.
The nurse is reviewing the postoperative prescriptions for an infant with hydrocephalus, who came back from surgery with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Which of the primary health care provider's prescriptions does the nurse question? 1.Position the infant on the inoperative side. 2.Keep the head of the bed elevated 45 degrees. 3.Monitor for signs of infection and check dressings for drainage. 4.Observe for irritability, a high shrill cry, lethargy, and poor feeding.
Keep the head of the bed elevated 45 degrees. Postoperative management for infants with hydrocephalus who have undergone ventriculoperitoneal shunt should be flat in bed to avoid the rapid reduction of intracranial fluid. Observe for increased ICP, if it occurs elevate the head of the bed to 15 to 30 degrees to enhance gravity flow through the shunt. Position the infant on the inoperative side to prevent pressure on the shunt valve. Monitor for signs of infection and check dressings for drainage. A high shrill cry in an infant can be a sign of increased ICP.
The nurse is monitoring an infant for signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and notes that the anterior fontanel bulges when the infant is sleeping. Based on this finding, which is the priority nursing action? 1.Increase oral fluids. 2.Document the finding. 3.Notify the registered nurse. 4.Place the infant in a side-lying position.
Notify the registered nurse. The anterior fontanel is diamond-shaped and located on the top of the head. It should be soft and flat in a normal infant, and it normally closes by 12 to 18 months of age. A larger-than-normal fontanel may be a sign of increased ICP within the skull. Although the anterior fontanel may bulge slightly when the infant cries, bulging at rest may indicate increased ICP. Increasing oral fluids and placing the infant in the side-lying position are inaccurate interventions. Although the nurse should document the finding, the first action is to report the finding to the registered nurse, who will then contact the primary health care provider.
