Question Number 1
An ER nurse is completing an assessment on a patient that is alert but struggles to answer questions. When she attempts to talk, she slurs her speech and appears very frightened. What additional clinical manifestation does the nurse expect to find if nacy's sysmptoms have been caused by a brain attack (stroke)?A. A carotid bruitB. A hypotensive blood pressureC. hyperreflexic deep tendon relexes.D. Decreased bowel sounds
A) A carotid bruit.Rationale: the carotid artery (artery to the brain) is narrowed in clients with a brain attack. A bruit is an abnormal sound heard on auscultation resulting from interference with normal blood flow. Usually the blood pressure is hypertensive. Initially flaccid paralysis occurs, resulting in hyporefkexic deep tendon reflexes. Bowel sounds are not indicative of a brain attack.
