A nurse is assessing a client who has a meningioma. The nurse should expect to find which of the following manifestations?

Choice A reason:

This statement is not indicative of a meningioma, but of a pituitary adenoma, which is a benign brain tumor that grows from the pituitary gland and may cause endocrine dysfunction such as diabetes insipidus (excessive thirst and urination).

Choice B reason:

This statement is not indicative of a meningioma, but of an acoustic neuroma, which is a benign brain tumor that arises from the acoustic cranial nerve and may cause hearing loss or ringing in the ears.

Choice C reason:

This statement is indicative of a meningioma, as explained above.

Choice D reason:

This statement is not indicative of a meningioma, but of a supratentorial tumor, which occurs in the cerebral hemispheres above the tentorium cerebelli and may cause loss of voluntary movement or hemiparesis (weakness or numbness on one side of the body).

Choice A reason:

Meningeal cells are not the origin of gliomas, but of meningiomas, which are benign brain tumors that develop from the meninges, the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.

Choice B reason:

Neuroglial cells are the origin of gliomas, as explained above.

Choice C reason:

Pituitary cells are not the origin of gliomas, but of pituitary adenomas, which are benign brain tumors that grow from the pituitary gland and may cause endocrine dysfunction.

Choice D reason:

Acoustic nerve cells are not the origin of gliomas, but of acoustic neuromas, which are benign brain tumors that arise from the acoustic cranial nerve and may cause hearing loss or ringing in the ears.
