A LUMBAR PUNCTURE is often adviced when the symptoms of a disease is related to the central nervous system. From the symptoms observed from the 19-year-old woman at the emergency department which includes:
--> generalized headache which is increasing in intensity,

This would help to rule out an elevated intracranial pressure which may be the cause of the generalized headache which is increasing in intensity.
