Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a man who had a transsphenoidal hypophysectomy earlier today. He says he has to spit a lot. What nursing action is essential?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Excessive spitting may indicate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, which contains glucose; testing secretions confirms this serious complication.

Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
