Question 4 of 5
A client comes to the emergency department complaining of headache, malaise, chills, fever, and a stiff neck.

Rationale: Brudzinski's sign indicates meningeal irritation, as in meningitis. Other signs of meningeal irritation include nuchal rigidity and Kernig's sign. Brudzinski's sign doesn't indicate increased ICP, cerebral edema, or low CSF pressure.

Opening doors increases air pressure risks, and relocating ambulatory clients to rooms may expose them to window hazards.
