[All OMSB_OEN Questions]

A nurse is examining a 24-month-old child with hydrocephalus for the development of later signs of hydrocephalus.

Which of the following signs the nurse would find?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In a 24-month-old child with hydrocephalus, later signs of the condition include frontal bossing, which is the prominent, protruding forehead caused by the enlargement of the frontal bone. This is a characteristic feature of chronic hydrocephalus. Bulging fontanels, separated sutures, and dilated scalp veins are typically earlier signs of hydrocephalus seen in younger infants before the cranial sutures close. As the child ages, frontal bossing becomes more apparent due to prolonged intracranial pressure.

Gotta be B, baby! Bulging fontanels are the way to go. Although, I must admit, I'm a little tempted by the dilated scalp veins. That sounds like a fun party trick.

Haha, I bet the answer is B. Bulging fontanels. What else would you expect from a child with hydrocephalus? Their head's gonna be like a balloon!

Yeah, I agree. It makes sense that the fontanels would bulge with increased pressure in the brain.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Separated sutures could also be a sign, but I think the bulging fontanels are the most obvious giveaway.
