4.Your unit was called to the home of a 52-year-old female, who is complaining of blurred vision and loss of coordination. Her family stated that she was able to function fully a couple of months ago but has been gradually experiencing weakness in her extremities, along with blurred vision. You assessed the patient and found her vital signs to be BP 118/66, P-98, R-16, SpO2-98% on room air, and her electrocardiogram shows a sinus rhythm. Upon examination, you noticed the patient had weakness in both lower extremities and difficulty focusing on your hand. The patient denies any dizziness. An IV was successfully established. Upon arrival to the hospital, the doctor immediately told the unit to take the patient to run an MRI. You stayed to complete paperwork but decided to return to ask the doctor about the results of the MRI. The doctor stated the patient’s MRI was positive for multiple sclerosis (MS). What is multiple sclerosis? How does the disease affect the neurological system? What does an MS patient experience?
