Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A decrease in the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score indicates a decline in the client’s level of consciousness and neurological function.
This can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure or other complications related to the skull fracture.
Choice B is incorrect because an increase in WBC count may indicate an infection, but it is not as concerning as a decrease in GCS score.
Choice C is incorrect because a change in pulse pressure may indicate changes in cardiovascular function, but it is not as concerning as a decrease in GCS score.
Choice D is incorrect because a change in pupil diameter may indicate changes in neurological function, but it is not as concerning as a decrease in GCS score.

A. Increased cardiac output. B. Pleural effusion. C. Fluid volume excess. D. Aspiration.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

“Fluid volume excess.” Bounding pulses, crackles on auscultation, and pink frothy secretions when receiving suctioning are all signs of fluid volume excess.
Fluid volume excess can occur when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, causing fluid to build up in the lungs.
Choice A is not the correct answer because the increased cardiac output would not cause these symptoms.
Choice B is not the correct answer because pleural effusion refers to a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity, which would not cause these symptoms.
Choice D is not the correct answer because aspiration refers to the inhalation of food, liquid, or other substances into the lungs, which would not cause these symptoms.
