A patient recovering from a frontal craniotomy is positioned with the head of the bed elevated 45 degrees at all times. What rationale would the nurse provide for this position?
1. The brain will compress the cerebral veins less in this position.
2. The ventricles of the brain will drain better in this position.
3. This position allows for less pain for the patient.
4. The cerebral spinal veins are valveless and drain by gravity.
