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.

I believe separated sutures could also be a sign of hydrocephalus.

B) Bulging fontanels, without a doubt. I've seen enough baby heads to know that one.

Definitely B) Bulging fontanels. That's a classic sign of hydrocephalus in young children. Easy one!
