    Which of the following is a common manifestation of increased intracranial pressure?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Headache is a common symptom caused by increased pressure inside the skull. B. Increased urine output is not typically associated; in fact, decreased urine output can occur due to ADH release. C. Increased intracranial pressure usually causes bradycardia (decreased heart rate) but in the context of Cushing’s triad, which includes hypertension and irregular respirations as well. D. Hypotension is not a common finding; hypertension is more typical due to sympathetic response.
