Upon the positive Kernig and Brudzinski sign, the nurse should interpret meningeal irritation.

Kernig sign indicates the stiffness of hamstrings with pain on knee extension. And Brudzinski sign is indicated when passive forward flexion of the neck causes the patient to involuntarily raise his knees or hips in flexion.

Meningeal irritation is caused due to the infectious meningitis. Meninges are the three layers of tissues protecting the brain and spinal cord. The symptoms include headache, stiffness of neck and fever. nausea and vomiting can also happen. It can be diagnosed by lumbar test and neuroimaging.

When a nurse is planning for learning, who must decide who should be included in the learning sessions?
kotykmax [81]

When a nurse is planning for learning, the nurse and the patient must decide who should be included in the learning sessions.

Nurse is a person who takes care of a sick person. A patient is the one who is sick and is receiving some kind of treatment.

When deciding about the learning lessons, having opinions of the patient is essential because they will feel valued. This will also develop the interest of the patient towards learning because when someone decides for themselves, they feel more determined. This decision will also make the task of nurse easy because the patient will be cooperative and understanding.
