Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse must keep in mind that this client has an excellent chance of total or nearly total recovery. Therefore, excellent nursing care is necessary to prevent permanent damage. Steroid therapy is controversial because, although it may reduce symptoms, it may be deleterious to the client's recovery. Maintenance of muscle function is required to prevent atrophy and skeletal deformities. Nursing interventions, such as providing passive range of motion and working with physical therapy, are very important from the very beginning of the diagnosis. Recovery is usually slow, lasting weeks, months, or years, depending on the severity of symptoms and emotional support is essential.
