Increased Intracranial Pressure A client with a traumatic brain injury is admitted to the ICU. The nurse notes that the client is increasingly lethargic and has a decreased response to verbal stimuli. Based on the physiologic principles of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), what actions should the nurse take next? Select all that apply. Notify the healthcare provider immediately to report the client’s worsening condition. Elevate the head of the bed to 30 degrees to promote venous drainage and reduce ICP. Minimize external stimulation, such as noise and bright lights, to prevent further increases in ICP. Increase the frequency of neurological assessments to monitor for further deterioration. Administer medications as prescribed to reduce ICP, such as osmotic diuretics or hypertonic saline.
