Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who reports numbness and pain in his right palm, index finger, and middle finger. The client reports working with a keyboard most of the time while at work. The nurse suspects carpal tunnel syndrome. Which of the following tests should the nurse request that the client perform?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Holding the wrist at a 90-degree flexion is a classic test for carpal tunnel syndrome, known as the Phalen's test. This maneuver increases pressure on the median nerve, which can reproduce symptoms of numbness and tingling in the fingers, a characteristic sign of carpal tunnel syndrome.
