Answer to Question 1

B
Peer review in nursing is the process by which practicing registered nurses systematically assess, monitor, and make judgments about the quality of nursing care provided by peers as measured against professional standards of practice.

Answer to Question 2

3. Ensuring adequate oxygenation

Rationale:
Ensuring adequate oxygenation to support brain function is the most important step in management of ICP. Although pain control, a calm environment, and vomiting (a sign of increased ICP) would be important, they are secondary to airway.
