,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.




ANSWERS :: 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
