Question 1 of 5
Nurse educator is reviewing with a newly hired nurse the difference in clinical manifestations of localized vs. systemic infection. The nurse indicates understanding when she states that which are manifestations of systemic infection? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and E. Fever is a hallmark sign of a systemic infection as the body's response to infection. Malaise, a general feeling of discomfort, is also common in systemic infections due to the body's immune response. An increase in pulse and respiratory rate occurs in systemic infections as the body tries to combat the infection. Edema and pain/tenderness are more indicative of localized infections and are not typically seen in systemic infections.
Therefore, choices C and D are incorrect in this context.
