3. The client has muscle weakness and spasticity.
4. The client has a congested cough and dysphagia.

The client newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) states, "I don't
understand how I got multiple sclerosis. Is it genetic?" On which statement
should the nurse base the response?
1. Genetics may play a role in susceptibility to MS, but the disease may be caused
by a virus.
2. There is no evidence suggesting there is any chromosomal involvement in
developing MS.
3. Multiple sclerosis is caused by a recessive gene, so both parents had to have
the gene for the client to get MS.
4. Multiple sclerosis is caused by an autosomal dominant gene on the Y
chromosome,so only fathers can pass it on.
1.The exact cause of MS is not known,but there is a theory stating a slow virus is
partially responsible. A failure of apart of the immune system may also beat fault. A
genetic predisposition involving chromosomes 2, 3, 7, 11, 17, 19, and X may be
involved.
2. There is some evidence supporting a genetic component involved in developing MS.
3. A specific gene has not been identified to know if the gene is recessive or dominant.
4. The X chromosome, not the Y chromosome,may be involved.
The 30-year-old female client is admitted with complaints of numbness, tingling, a
crawling sensation affecting the extremities, and double vision which has
occurred two(2) times in the month. Which question is most important for the
nurse to ask the client?
1. "Have you experienced any difficulty with your menstrual cycle?"
, 2. "Have you noticed a rash across the bridge of your nose?"
3. "Do you get tired easily and sometimes have problems swallowing?"
4. "Are you taking birth control pills to prevent conception?"
3.These are clinical manifestation of MS and can go un diagnosed for years be-cause of
the remitting-relapsing nature of the disease. Fatigue and difficulty swallowing are other
symptoms of MS.
1. MS does not affect the menstrual cycle.
2. A rash across the bridge of the nose suggests systemic lupus erythematosus
4. Taking birth control medications should not produce these symptoms or the pattern of
occurrence.
The nurse enters the room of a client diagnosed with acute exacerbation of
multiple sclerosis and finds the client crying. Which statement is the most
therapeutic response for the nurse to make?
1. "Why are you crying?The medication will help the disease."
2. "You seem upset. I will sit down and we can talk for awhile."
3. "Multiple sclerosis is a disease that has good times and bad times."
4. "I will have the chaplain come and stay with you for a while."

conversations.

feelings.
