,Chapter 1. Neurological System
1. A NURSE Is Explaining To Parents How The Central Nervous System Of A Child Differs From That
Of An Adult. Which Statement Accurately Describes These Differences?
A. The Infant Has 150 Milliliters Of Cerebrospinal Fluid Compared With 50 Milliliters In The Adult.
B. Papilledema Is A Common Manifestation Of Increased Intracranial Pressure In The Very Young
Child.
C. The Brain Of A Term Infant Weighs Less Than Half Of The Weight Of The Adult Brain.
D. Coordination And Fine Motor Skills Develop As Myelinization Of Peripheral Nerves Progresses.
ANSWER>>D
Peripheral Nerves Are Not Completely Myelinated At Birth. As Myelinization Progresses, So Does The
Childs Coordination And Fine Muscle Movements. An Infant Has About 50 Milliliters Of Cerebrospinal
Fluid Compared With 150 Milliliters In An Adult. Papilledema Rarely Occurs In Infancy Because Open
Fontanels And Sutures Can Expand In The Presence Of Increased Intracranial Pressure. The Brain Of The
Term Infant Is Two-Thirds The Weight Of An Adults Brain.
2. A NURSE Is Assessing A 1-Year-Old Child For Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP). Which Sign
Should The NURSE Assess For With This Age Of Child?
A. Headache
B. Bulging Fontanel
, C. Tachypnea
D. Increase In Head Circumference
ANSWER>>A
Headaches Are A Clinical Manifestation Of Increased ICP In Children. A Change In The Childs Normal
Behavior Pattern May Be An Important Early Sign Of Increased ICP. A Bulging Fontanel Is A
Manifestation Of Increased ICP In Infants. A 10-Year-Old Child Would Have A Closed Fontanel. A Change
In Respiratory Pattern Is A Late Sign Of Increased ICP. Cheyne-Stokes Respiration May Be Evident. This
Refers To A Pattern Of Increasing Rate And Depth Of Respirations Followed By A Decreasing Rate And
Depth With A Pause Of Variable Length. By 10 Years Of Age, Cranial Sutures Have Fused So That Head
Circumference Will Not Increase In The Presence Of Increased ICP.
3. The NURSE Should Give A Child Who Is To Have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Of The Brain
Which Information?
A. Your Head Will Be Restrained.
B. You Will Have To Drink A Special Fluid Before The Test.
