Question 1 of 5

The nurse is receiving a client from the emergency department who has a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The client's chief sign/symptom is an ascending paralysis that has reached the level of the waist. Which items should the nurse plan to have available for emergency use?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client with Guillain-Barré syndrome is at risk for respiratory failure as a result of ascending paralysis. An intubation tray should be available for emergency use. Another complication of this syndrome is cardiac dysrhythmias, which necessitates the need for cardiac monitoring. Although some of the items in the remaining options may be kept at the bedside (e.g., pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff, flashlight), they are not necessarily needed for emergency use in this situation.
