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: This test is known as Phalen's maneuver. It involves holding the wrist in flexion for 60 seconds or more to compress the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Reproduction of symptoms, such as numbness and tingling, during this maneuver is considered a positive sign for carpal tunnel syndrome.
