A nurse is providing teaching to a client with Meniere's disease. The nurse recognizes that which of the following instructions should be given to the client regarding vertigo?
Report dizziness at once.
Get up slowly, turning the entire body.
Drive in daylight hours only.
Change your position using the logroll technique.
The Correct Answer is B
A. While reporting dizziness is important, it does not directly aid in managing vertigo episodes.
B. Instructing the client to get up slowly while turning their entire body helps to reduce vertigo symptoms by minimizing head movement, which can trigger or worsen dizziness in Meniere’s disease.
C. Driving is not recommended during symptomatic periods of vertigo, as it could be unsafe.
D. The logroll technique is typically used for clients with spinal issues rather than vertigo management in Meniere’s disease.

C. Lack of ACTH affects adrenal hormone production but does not directly lead to short stature or delayed menarche.
D. Impaired production of T3 and T4 would affect metabolism and growth but is less likely to be the primary cause of the symptoms presented compared to growth hormone deficiencies.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Diplopia is a concerning symptom but does not indicate immediate deterioration in neurological status like a change in GCS does.
B. Ataxia is also significant but is less acute than a drop in GCS score.
C. A change in the Glasgow Coma Scale score from 13 to 11 indicates a worsening level of consciousness and necessitates immediate reporting, as it may suggest increased intracranial pressure or other complications.
