A trauma patient’s intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measures 26 mm Hg. How would the nurse explain needed treatment to the patient’s family?
1. “This pressure reading is normal and will help to get oxygen to the damaged internal organs.”
2. “If we reduce the amount of IV fluid he is getting, the IAP will decrease.”
3. “We will raise the head of his bed and have him cough more frequently to reduce this pressure.”
4. “It is very likely that he will be taken back to surgery to relieve the pressure building in his abdomen.”
