Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hair on the head is considered personal property. It is removed with clippers before the surgical procedure if necessary. Hair removal is documented in the patient's chart. Any hair removed is saved and given back to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
ICP rises with an increase in volume of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and/or cerebral blood supply or with decompensation. In adults, normal ICP ranges from 10 to 20 mm Hg. When an abnormal elevation is sustained, ICP prevents adequate perfusion of the cerebral cortex. ICP monitoring is accomplished by implanting a ventricular catheter, subarachnoid screw, or epidural sensor. Insertion of a ventricular catheter is an invasive procedure but the most accurate method of ICP monitoring.
