Question 1 of 5
A client with a cervical spinal injury (C7) is experiencing autonomic dysreflexia. The nurse should first assess the client for which precipitating factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Autonomic dysreflexia is often triggered by a distended bladder, which sends signals to the spinal cord that cannot pass the injury level, causing uncontrolled sympathetic activation. Assessing for this common precipitating factor is the priority to address the underlying cause.
