Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Bulging fontanels, irregular respirations, and posturing are among the late signs of increased intracranial pressure and would lead the nurse to intervene quickly by notifying the health-care provider or by activating the rapid response team. The other signs are early indicators of increased intracranial pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Drop attack is an old term for atonic seizure activity.
