Neuroinflammation: Multiple sclerosis; Meningitis; Guillain-Barré syndrome ( 4 Questions)

Question 1 :
A nurse is caring for a client who has multiple sclerosis (MS). The client reports blurred vision, eye pain, and loss of color perception. Which of the following terms should the nurse use to document this finding?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A reason:

This is an incorrect answer. Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary and rhythmic eye movements, which can affect vision and balance. Nystagmus can occur in some clients who have MS due to damage to the brainstem or cerebellum, but it does not cause eye pain or loss of color perception.

Choice B reason:

This is an incorrect answer. Diplopia is a condition that causes double vision, which can affect depth perception and coordination. Diplopia can occur in some clients who have MS due to damage to the cranial nerves or ocular muscles, but it does not cause eye pain or loss of color perception.

Choice C reason:

This is a correct answer. Optic neuritis is a condition that causes inflammation and demyelination of the optic nerve, which can affect visual acuity and color perception. Optic neuritis can occur in some clients who have MS due to damage to the optic nerve or chiasm, and it often causes blurred vision, eye pain, and loss of color perception.

Choice D reason:

This is an incorrect answer. Papilledema is a condition that causes swelling of the optic disc, which can affect peripheral vision and cause headaches. Papilledema can occur in some clients who have increased intracranial pressure (ICP) due to various causes, such as brain tumors, meningitis, or hydrocephalus, but it is not a common finding in MS.
