What is the therapeutic effect of head-of-the-bed elevation and
neutral head and neck alignment on increased intracranial pressure
(ICP)?
o Lowering ICP by allowing for elevations in CO2 to dilate
cerebral arteries
o Lowering ICP by facilitating venous drainage and
decreasing venous obstruction Correct

o Lowering ICP by maintaining an open airway
o Lowering ICP by reducing the risk of snoring
Head-of-the-bed elevation and a neutral head position that avoids
hyperextension or hyperflexion facilitate jugular venous drainage,
helping to minimize increases in ICP. Elevated CO2 contributes to
cerebral vessel vasodilation, which can increase cerebral blood
volume and further elevate ICP. Maintaining an open airway alone
does not minimize increases in ICP. Reducing the risk of snoring by
maintaining an open airway alone does not minimize increases in
ICP.

Under normal circumstances the cerebral vasculature exhibits
pressure and chemical autoregulation. What happens when
autoregulation is lost?
o Central venous engorgement occurs.
o Cerebral blood flow is not affected.
o Hypertension increases cerebral blood flow. Correct
o Shunting of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is blocked.
Autoregulation is the ability of the cerebral vessels to adjust their
diameter in response to arterial pressure changes within the brain. If
mean arterial blood pressure rises, cerebral vessels will constrict to
prevent excessive distention of the cerebral arteries. When

autoregulation is lost, cerebral vessels are no longer able to regulate
diameter and as a result hypertension increases cerebral perfusion
pressure. Cerebral vessels may become engorged as a result of the
loss of autoregulation. Cerebral blood flow is affected with the loss
of autoregulation. Loss of autoregulation does not block CSF flow.

The nurse is monitoring a patient’s intracranial pressure (ICP).
While the nurse is providing hygiene measures, she observes that
the ICP reading is sustained at 18 mm Hg.
What is the priority nursing action?
o Cease stimulating the patient. Correct
o Continue with hygiene measures.
