B. Elevating the client's head is a response to autonomic dysreflexia but does not prevent it from occurring.
C. Providing analgesia for headaches addresses a symptom of autonomic dysreflexia but does not prevent it.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. The ascending tracts transmit sensory information to the brain, but they do not process the information; that function is performed in the brain itself.
B. This statement accurately reflects the function of the descending tracts, which carry motor signals from the CNS to the muscles, facilitating voluntary movement.
C. Sensory receptors are located in various tissues throughout the body, including the skin and muscles, but not exclusively in the muscles.
D. Motor neurons are located in the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system, not in the dermal layer of the skin, where sensory receptors reside.
