A client reports a severe headache shortly after a lumbar puncture for a myelogram. What would be the nurse’s best response
A. Increase the client’s fluid intake.
B. Administer prescribed antihypertensives.
C. Offer roll lenses to the client.
D. Place cooling packs over the lumbar puncture sit
参考答案:A
解析:Headache following a lumbar puncture is usually caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Increased fluid intake will help restore CSF volume. Antihypertensives don’t address the problem. Roll lenses reduce light irritation to the eyes and ice may reduce site pain, but neither intervention addresses the problem of reduced CSF volume, which causes the headache.
