A client with upper motor neuron deficit related to a spinal cord injury.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following manifestations can the nurse expect in a client with upper motor neuron deficit related to a spinal cord injury?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Spastic, involuntary voiding. In upper motor neuron deficits related to spinal cord injury, there is an interruption of inhibitory signals leading to spasticity in the bladder muscles, causing involuntary voiding. This occurs due to loss of supraspinal control over reflex pathways. Option A, leakage, is more common in lower motor neuron lesions. Anuria, option B, is related to kidney function and not specific to upper motor neuron deficits. Option C, flaccid bladder and inability to voluntarily void, is characteristic of lower motor neuron deficits.
