A backward sloping appearance of the forehead<\/strong>: This is not a typical manifestation of hydrocephalus. Instead, hydrocephalus often leads to an enlarged head and a forward-bulging forehead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Dilated scalp veins<\/strong>: This is a common sign of hydrocephalus. The increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles can cause the veins on the scalp to become prominent and dilated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Over-riding suture lines<\/strong>: This is more commonly associated with conditions like craniosynostosis or increased intracranial pressure, rather than hydrocephalus alone. Hydrocephalus usually causes the sutures to separate rather than override.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Hypertension<\/strong>: While increased intracranial pressure due to hydrocephalus might affect blood pressure, hypertension is not a direct manifestation of hydrocephalus in newborns. More specific signs include an enlarged head circumference and increased fontanel size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Correct answer:<\/strong> B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is caring for a newborn who has hydrocephalus.
