Question 1 of 5

A nurse in the emergency department is monitoring a client who has a cervical spinal cord injury from a fall. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following complications? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: B,D,E

Rationale: The correct answers are B, D, and E. A cervical spinal cord injury can lead to autonomic dysreflexia, which can cause complications such as absence of bowel sounds (
B), weakened gag reflex (
D), and hypotension (E). Absence of bowel sounds can indicate bowel dysfunction due to the injury. A weakened gag reflex can lead to difficulty swallowing and increased risk of aspiration. Hypotension can occur due to impaired sympathetic nervous system function below the level of injury. Hyperthermia (
A) is not a common complication of cervical spinal cord injury. Polyuria (
C) is more commonly associated with diabetes or kidney issues rather than a spinal cord injury in this context.
