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 should be reported immediately because it could indicate increased intracranial pressure or worsening of the client's condition. It may require urgent intervention to prevent further complications like herniation. Photophobia (
A) and increased temperature (
B) are common in meningitis but not as urgent as decreased consciousness. Generalized rash over the trunk (
D) may indicate a different condition like an allergic reaction or viral illness, which is important but not as critical as the decreased level of consciousness in this case.
