Infectious Mononucleosis

Infectious Mononucleosis ( 11 Questions)

A nurse is assessing a client with suspected infectious mononucleosis. Which statement by the client indicates the presence of typical symptoms?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A rationale:

Feeling tired is a general symptom and can be caused by various conditions. It is not specific to infectious mononucleosis.

Choice B rationale:

Having a slightly sore throat is a non-specific symptom and can be caused by many factors, not just infectious mononucleosis.

Choice C rationale:

Noticing swelling in the neck glands is a typical symptom of infectious mononucleosis. Enlarged lymph nodes, particularly in the neck, are a characteristic feature of the infection.

Choice D rationale:

Not experiencing changes in appetite is not a specific symptom of infectious mononucleosis. It does not provide relevant information in determining if the client has the infection.
