A, B, D
The baby should have daily head and abdominal measurements to track whether the CSF is being drained from the head and absorbed in the abdomen. The child should be positioned on the side opposite the surgery unless the fontanels are bulging. In this event, the child is placed in a semi-Fowler's position to facilitate drainage. Position changes should occur every 2 hours.
