A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a possible medical diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Which of the following questions should the nurse ask the client?
While travel can expose individuals to various pathogens, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is more commonly linked to recent infections rather than overseas travel.
GBS is often preceded by an acute viral or bacterial infection, particularly an upper respiratory or gastrointestinal infection. This makes it essential for the nurse to inquire about a recent upper respiratory infection.
Taking multivitamins does not have a direct connection to the development of GBS.
While some vaccines are associated with GBS, the MMR vaccine is not typically a cause of concern in this context.
