    The nurse is completing the admission assessment of a client with multiple sclerosis (MS). Which finding(s) should be reported to the healthcare provider immediately? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Fever: Fever can trigger or worsen multiple sclerosis symptoms and may indicate an underlying infection, which needs immediate medical evaluation to prevent exacerbation of neurological deficits. B. Tachycardia: Tachycardia could suggest autonomic dysfunction, infection, or other systemic issues that require prompt assessment to prevent complications in a client with MS. C. Tremors: Tremors are a common and expected neurological manifestation of MS due to motor pathway involvement and do not usually require urgent reporting unless suddenly worsening. D. Tinnitus: Tinnitus may occur with MS due to cranial nerve involvement but is not typically an urgent concern unless accompanied by other signs of acute neurological deterioration. E. Paresthesia: Paresthesia, or abnormal sensations like numbness or tingling, is a common symptom in MS and expected during disease activity, not requiring immediate reporting unless rapidly worsening.
