Title: When administering hypertonic saline to the patient with increased intracranial pressure (ICP), the Post by: Jendo on May 19, 2016 When administering hypertonic saline to the patient with increased intracranial pressure (ICP), the nurse would:
1. Monitor the patient for renal failure and pulmonary edema. 2. Administer any concentrations greater than 2% through a central line. 3. Monitor serum sodium levels frequently during administration. 4. Expect the patient's neurologic status and ICP will begin to improve within 15 minutes following administration. 5. Monitor the patient’s serum osmolarity every 24 hours.
