A nurse is assessing a client who has bradycardia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. A severe headache is a hallmark symptom of meningitis. The inflammation of the meninges (the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord) typically causes intense headache, along with other symptoms such as fever, nausea, and photophobia.
B. While orientation to person, place, and year may be intact in some cases, meningitis often causes altered mental status, confusion, and irritability, particularly in severe cases.
C. Bradycardia is not typically associated with meningitis. In fact, tachycardia (elevated heart rate) is more commonly seen in the early stages of infection, as part of the body's response to fever and infection.
D. Blurred vision is not a primary symptom of meningitis. While meningitis can cause visual disturbances, such as photophobia (sensitivity to light), blurred vision is not a typical presenting symptom.

A. Polyphagia (increased hunger) is more commonly associated with conditions like diabetes mellitus, where there is impaired glucose regulation. It is not a typical finding in diabetes insipidus.
B. Bradycardia (slow heart rate) is not a characteristic sign of diabetes insipidus. The condition primarily affects fluid balance, leading to dehydration rather than changes in heart rate.
C. Hyperglycemia is also a hallmark of diabetes mellitus, not diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is characterized by the inability to concentrate urine, leading to excessive urination and thirst.
D. Dehydration is a common finding in diabetes insipidus. The condition causes excessive urination (polyuria) due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or resistance to it, leading to a significant loss of water and subsequent dehydration if fluid intake is not sufficient to compensate.
