Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking high doses of aspirin to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following findings indicates that the client has salicylism?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tinnitus. Salicylism is a toxic condition caused by high levels of salicylates, such as aspirin, in the body. Tinnitus is a common early sign of salicylism due to its ototoxic effects on the auditory nerve. Nuchal rigidity, pharyngitis, and pruritus are not typically associated with salicylism. Nuchal rigidity is more indicative of meningitis, pharyngitis suggests a throat infection, and pruritus is itching which is not specific to salicylism.
Therefore, tinnitus is the most relevant finding in this context.
