Ebola

Ebola ( 24 Questions)

A client with suspected Ebola virus disease (EVD) states, "I feel weak and have severe headache." Which of the following statements made by the nurse is appropriate?


Correct Answer: B

Choice A rationale:

This statement is incorrect. Weakness and severe headache are symptoms commonly seen in the early stages of Ebola virus disease (EVD), not the later stages.

Choice B rationale:

This statement is appropriate. Since the client is in the early stages of EVD and presents with symptoms like weakness and severe headache, the nurse's response acknowledges the possibility of these symptoms being related to a common cold but still highlights the need for further evaluation due to the potential severity of EVD.

Choice C rationale:

This statement is irrelevant and does not address the client's current symptoms or concerns.

Choice D rationale:

This statement is incorrect. Joint and muscle pain are indeed associated with EVD and can be significant symptoms.
