Sharon, a 58-year-old female client, presents to the hospital with an exacerbation of multiple sclerosis
(MS) symptoms. She was diagnosed with the disease 4 years ago after noticing some unusual muscle
movement and weakness. She continues to work full-time so that she can maintain her health insurance
coverage for herself and her two sons in college. In performing the health admission assessment, the
nurse identifies several abnormalities. Which clinical symptoms are associated with MS? Select all that
apply.

Migraine headache

Bladder infection

Hypertension

Numbness in legs

Increased thirst - Answer Bladder infection

Numbness in legs

Clients with MS are likely to experience alterations in bladder function that can lead to an infection. The
disease's demyelination process can cause sensory deficits, including numbness in the extremities. The
other choices are not usually associated directly with MS.

treatment plan to help alleviate this clinical symptom?
