Question 1 of 5
A patient had a lumbar injury. Which neurological test by the nurse would be affected?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Romberg's test is a neurological test that assesses the function of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord, which are responsible for proprioception and vibration sensations. A lumbar injury can affect these dorsal columns, leading to impaired proprioception. Therefore, the Romberg's test would be affected due to the compromised sensory input from the lower extremities. This test usually involves asking the patient to stand with feet together and eyes closed to assess balance and proprioception.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or gamma globulin is given as a single dose to reduce the risk of coronary artery abnormalities, while aspirin is used for its anti-inflammatory effects. It is important to note that aspirin should not be given to children with viral infections due to the risk of Reye syndrome. Therefore, option D is the correct choice in this case.
