Extract:

A client who has had a hemorrhagic stroke following a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has had a hemorrhagic stroke following a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sudden severe headache. In a hemorrhagic stroke from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, sudden severe headache is a common manifestation due to the bleeding in the brain. This headache is often described as the "worst headache of my life." This is because the bleeding irritates the brain tissues, leading to intense pain. The other options are incorrect because a gradual onset of several hours (
A) is more indicative of an ischemic stroke, maintaining consciousness (
B) is less likely in a hemorrhagic stroke due to increased intracranial pressure, and a history of neurologic deficits lasting less than 1 hour (
D) is suggestive of a transient ischemic attack (TI
A) rather than a hemorrhagic stroke.
