Question 1 of 5
Nurse caring for client who reports severe sore throat
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Incubation. The client reporting a severe sore throat indicates that the infection is already present in the body but has not yet manifested with symptoms. During the incubation stage, the pathogen is actively multiplying but the client does not exhibit symptoms yet.
Choices A, B, and C (pain with swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, and prodromal stage) all indicate that the infection has progressed beyond the incubation stage and symptoms are present.
Choice E (Convalescence) refers to the period of recovery after the infection has been resolved, which is not the case here.
Therefore, D is the correct answer as it corresponds to the stage where the client is experiencing symptoms without them being fully manifested yet.
