Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A Rationale: Notifying the nurse administrator should not be the first action when a client is experiencing pain or injury.

Choice B Rationale: Cleaning up the spill is important to prevent further accidents but does not address the client's immediate pain and discomfort.

Choice C Rationale: Asking the client to remain still is the best first action to ensure the client's safety and assess the extent of the injury or pain.

Choice D Rationale: Documenting the incident is important but should follow

A. The disorder causes enlargement of parotid and salivary glands B. It is caused by obstructed blood flow to the brain C. The client has a deficiency of thiamine and pyridoxine in the central nervous system D. Cranial nerves responsible for the swallow and the gag reflex have been affected by demyelination caused by the disorder

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A Rationale: Guillain-Barre syndrome does not typically cause enlargement of parotid and salivary glands, leading to drooling.

Choice B Rationale: Obstructed blood flow to the brain is not the primary cause of the described symptoms in Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Choice C Rationale: Deficiency of thiamine and pyridoxine in the central nervous system is not a characteristic feature of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Choice D Rationale: In Guillain-Barre syndrome, demyelination affects cranial nerves responsible for swallowing and the gag reflex, leading to difficulties in swallowing secretions and drooling.
