Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A widening pulse pressure can indicate increased ICP; therefore it is the priority. An axillary temperature of 99  F, infant pulse of 100 bpm, and adolescent respiratory rate of 28 are expected assessments.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The adolescent may avoid post-lumbar puncture headache by lying flat for some time.
