Increased Intracranial Pressure Questions and Answers(A+ Solution guide)

Monro-Kellie doctrine - Three components (brain tissue, blood, CSF) must remain at a relatively constant volume within the skull. These three components maintain ICP. Which components can affect a patient's increased intracranial pressure? Select all that apply. -Blood -Brain tissue -Hematoma -Synovial fluid -Cerebrospinal fluid - -Blood Blood is a component housed in the skull. The balance among the three components housed in the skull maintains the intracranial pressure. -Brain tissue Brain tissue is a component housed in the skull. The balance among the three components housed in the skull maintains the intracranial pressure. -Hematoma Hematomas can occur within the brain tissue and between the brain layers. A hematoma in the brain can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure. -Cerebrospinal fluid CSF is a component housed in the skull. The balance among the three components housed in the skull maintains the intracranial pressure. The nurse is caring for a patient with increased ICP after a motor vehicle collision.
