Answer to Question 1

Intravenous access and supplemental oxygen are common interventions in the treatment of increased intracranial pressure. Placing the client on bed rest is a proper safety measure. Placing the bed in Trendelenburg position will increase blood flow to the brain and increase ICP.

Answer to Question 2

The Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008 is legislation that provides a framework for prevention of, education about, and research on traumatic brain injuries. The act also supports community living for people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and their families. The other choices are not programs to assist clients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury or their families.
