Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A Headaches are a clinical manifestation of increased ICP in children. A change in
the child's normal behavior pattern may be an important early sign of increased
ICP.
B This is a manifestation of increased ICP in infants. A 10-year-old child would
have a closed fontanel.
C A change in respiratory pattern is a late sign of increased ICP. Cheyne-Stokes
respiration may be evident. This refers to a pattern of increasing rate and depth
of respirations followed by a decreasing rate and depth with a pause of variable
length.
D By 10 years of age, cranial sutures have fused so that head circumference will
not increase in the presence of increased ICP.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
Feedback:
The nurse can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for sexuality and reproductive health by outlining safer sex practices, reviewing refusal skills, teaching about abstinence, and explaining the advantages of obtaining the human papillomavirus vaccination. Annual mammography is not a disadvantage for women of a specific age range.
