Question 1 of 5
Which of the following diagnostic tests should the nurse expect the health care provider to order?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. The nurse should expect the health care provider to order a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis for diagnostic testing in certain neurological conditions such as meningitis, encephalitis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. This test can provide valuable information about the composition of the CSF, including cell count, protein levels, and glucose levels, which can help in diagnosing the underlying condition. The other choices are less likely to be ordered as initial diagnostic tests for neurological conditions. A GCS assessment (
A) is a bedside tool for assessing level of consciousness but does not provide specific diagnostic information. An RBC count (
C) is a basic blood test that is not specific to neurological conditions. An MRI (
D) is a valuable imaging tool for detecting structural abnormalities in the brain but is usually ordered after initial diagnostic tests like CSF analysis.
