Paget’s Disease ( 45 Questions)
A client with Paget's disease experiences frequent headaches. Which cranial finding should the nurse assess for during the neurological examination?
Nystagmus: Nystagmus is an involuntary, rhythmic movement of the eyes and is not directly associated with Paget's disease.
Diplopia: Diplopia, or double vision, is not a typical finding in Paget's disease. It may be related to other neurological or ocular conditions.
Papilledema: Papilledema is swelling of the optic disc due to increased intracranial pressure. While headaches can be associated with Paget's disease, papilledema is not a common manifestation of the condition.
Enlarged frontal bossing (prominent forehead) is a cranial finding often seen in clients with Paget's disease due to increased bone growth in the skull bones. This can cause pressure and contribute to headaches.
