, A nurse in an acute care facility is preparing to admit a client who has myasthenia gravis.
Which of the following supplies should the nurse place at the client's bedside?
Oral-nasal suction equipment
The client who has myasthenia gravis is at risk for aspiration because of progressive
weakness of the oropharyngeal muscles. Myasthenia gravis causes muscle weakness due
to an autoimmune disease that affects the acytylcholine receptors. The nurse should
place oxygen and oral-nasal suction equipment at the bedside in the event of aspiration
or
respiratory distress.
A nurse in a rehabilitation center is collecting data from a client who is recovering from
a left-hemisphere stroke. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Difficulty with speech
The left hemisphere of the brain is usually the dominant side and is responsible for
language. This is always true for right-handed clients and for the majority of left-handed
clients. Since this client is recovering from a left-hemisphere stroke, the nurse should
anticipate that the client will have aphasia and require speech therapy to establish
communication.

following manifestations should the nurse include in the teaching?
Feeling of fullness in the ear
