Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with left-sided Bell's palsy. Which statement by the client shows a need for further teaching by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Bell's palsy is an inflammatory condition that involves the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). Although it results in facial paralysis, it is not the same as a stroke. Many clients fear that they have had a stroke when the symptoms of Bell's palsy appear, and they commonly believe that the paralysis is permanent. Symptoms resolve, although it may take several weeks. The remaining options are expected assessment findings of the client with Bell's palsy.
