The nurse is assessing a 48-year-old client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Which clinical manifestation warrants immediate intervention?
Correct answer
D

Congested cough and dysphagia indicate potential airway and swallowing issues, requiring immediate intervention to prevent aspiration or respiratory distress. Neurological symptoms like speech issues, diplopia, scotomas, weakness, and spasticity are expected in MS but less acute.
