Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Contraindications to ICP monitoring include coagulopathies, anticoagulation therapy, cerebral edema with ventricular collapse or shift, and known scalp infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Right atrial pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac output can be obtained from pulmonary artery monitoring. This information about the pressures can reveal the hemodynamic status of cardiovascular and pulmonary functions and serves as a guideline for administration of fluids, diuretics, and cardiotonic drugs.
