The nurse is caring for a patient suspected of having meningitis.
After reviewing the lab results, which medication does the nurse anticipate the provider will prescribe to treat the meningitis?

Choice A rationale
Supporting the right arm with a sling or pillow can help prevent shoulder dislocation, but it may not directly ensure the safety of a patient who has experienced a stroke in the right hemisphere of the brain.
Choice B rationale
While it is true that a patient who has experienced a stroke in the right hemisphere of the brain may exhibit some degree of expressive or receptive aphasia, anticipating this does not directly ensure the patient’s safety.
Choice C rationale

Placing the wheelchair on the client’s left side when transferring him into a wheelchair is a good practice, but it may not directly ensure the safety of a patient who has experienced a stroke in the right hemisphere of the brain.
Choice D rationale
Patients who have experienced a stroke in the right hemisphere of the brain often exhibit impulsiveness and poor judgment. Therefore, providing close supervision can help ensure the patient’s safety.

Choice A rationale
Instructing the client on daily muscle stretching can help alleviate and relax muscle spasms, which is beneficial for a client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Choice B rationale
Ordering a low-residual diet is not typically a part of the care plan for a client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Choice C rationale
Encouraging the client to void every hour may not be necessary for a client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, unless there are specific urinary symptoms present.
Choice D rationale
Providing total assistance with all activities of daily living may not be necessary for a client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, as the level of assistance required can vary greatly depending on the severity of the disease.
