Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In patients with head injuries, increased muscle tone and contractured positioning (such as decorticate or decerebrate posturing) are signs of significant neurological impairment. It is essential to manage these symptoms to prevent further complications. Consulting a physical therapist is the best course of action to ensure appropriate positioning, prevent contractures, and manage spasticity effectively.

The answer is definitely D. Using a guide wire is the standard technique for this type of procedure. Gotta love those multiple-choice exams!

I heard they're also considering sending in a pit crew to change the patient's tires while they're at it. Option B is clearly the pit stop solution.

Two nurses? Really? This isn't brain surgery, it's a gastric tube. Option B seems a bit excessive.

Under fluoroscopy? That's overkill for a routine procedure like this. I'd go with option C - ultrasound is the way to go.

Hmm, the gastric tube placement seems tricky. I think option D with a guide wire is the way to go. Sounds like the safest approach.
