, Q1. In a child with suspected increased intracranial pressure (ICP), which assessment
finding is most indicative of Cushing's triad and requires immediate intervention?
A. Bradycardia, hypertension, irregular respirations
B. Tachycardia, hypotension, shallow respirations
C. Fever, nuchal rigidity, photophobia
D. Irritability, poor feeding, high-pitched cry
Correct Answer: A. Bradycardia, hypertension, irregular respirations
Rationale: Cushing's triad—bradycardia, hypertension, and irregular respirations—is a
late and ominous sign of increased ICP, reflecting brainstem compression. The other
options describe signs of infection, sepsis, or early non-specific neurologic changes.
Why Wrong:
B - Tachycardia and hypotension are more consistent with shock or sepsis, not
increased ICP.
C - Fever, nuchal rigidity, and photophobia are classic signs of meningitis, not
specifically increased ICP.
D - Irritability and poor feeding are early, non-specific signs of neurologic
dysfunction but not the classic triad.

Children, 11th ed., Ch. 28.
Q2. When calculating maintenance fluid requirements using the Holliday-Segar
method for a child weighing 30 kg, what is the hourly maintenance rate?
A. 70 mL/hr
B. 80 mL/hr
C. 90 mL/hr
D. 100 mL/hr
Correct Answer: A. 70 mL/hr
Rationale: For the first 10 kg: 100 mL/kg/day = 1000 mL; second 10 kg: 50 mL/kg/day =
500 mL; remaining 10 kg: 20 mL/kg/day = 200 mL. Total = 1700 mL/day, which is 70.8
mL/hr (70 mL/hr).
Why Wrong:
B - 80 mL/hr would result from using 80 mL/kg/day for all weights, which is
incorrect.
C - 90 mL/hr results from miscalculating the third tier as 30 mL/kg/day.
D - 100 mL/hr would be correct only for a child weighing 40 kg or more.
