Question 1 of 5
The home care nurse is evaluating a client's understanding of the self-management of trigeminal neuralgia. Which client statement indicates that there is a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chronic irritation of cranial nerve V results in trigeminal neuralgia, and it is characterized by intermittent episodes of intense pain of sudden onset on the affected side of the face. The pain is rarely relieved by analgesics. It is recommended that clients chew on the unaffected side and use warm mouthwash for oral hygiene. Medications such as carbamazepine help control the pain of trigeminal neuralgia.
