Answer to Question 1

2
Interventions to reduce increased intracranial pressure include administering an osmotic diuretic such as Mannitol. Hypotonic fluids should be avoided since cerebral edema could occur. The head of the bed should be raised to 30 to 45 degrees. A lower PCO2 level will reduce intracranial pressure.

Answer to Question 2

2
During an episode of angina, T-wave flattening or inversions and ST segment depression may be seen on the electrocardiogram due to subendocardial ischemia. ST segment elevation is seen with impending or acute myocardial infarction.
