A client who has meningitis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has meningitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decreased level of consciousness. This finding is crucial to report immediately in a client with meningitis as it could indicate increased intracranial pressure or worsening infection. Decreased level of consciousness may suggest brain swelling or impaired blood flow to the brain, which require urgent intervention. Reporting this promptly can help prevent serious complications such as seizures or coma.
Choices A, B, and D are common manifestations of meningitis but do not necessitate immediate reporting compared to a decreased level of consciousness.
