The nurse is instructing a client newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). To determine the effectiveness of his teaching, the nurse would expect the client to state:
 
  1. It is best for me to be in a cold environment.
  2. I should avoid taking a hot bath.
  3. I should eat foods low in salt.
  4. I should be better in a week.

Question 2

One of the most important things a nurse can teach a client about seizure control is to:
 
  1. take the medication every day as prescribed by the doctor.
  2. eat a balanced diet.
  3. get lots of exercise.
  4. take naps during the day.

Answer to Question 1

2
The clinical manifestations of MS can be exacerbated by being in a hot, humid environment or by taking a hot bath. A cold environment and low-salt foods do not impact the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. If the client states that they will improve in a week, instruction has not been effective.

Answer to Question 2

1
Medication is effective only if it is taken as prescribed, and suddenly stopping the medication can trigger an increase in seizure activity. Diet and exercise are important to a healthy lifestyle but do little to control seizure activity.
