    -----------
    ANSWERS AND RATIONALE

    Q6 Answer: B Rationale: Difficulty swallowing in MS may be due to neurological deficits affecting the muscles involved in deglutition. A referral to a speech therapist is the most appropriate intervention to properly evaluate swallowing function and reduce the risk of complications such as aspiration.
    Q7 Answer: B Rationale: Following a relapse, muscle weakness is a common issue that can directly impair physical mobility. Addressing this through a care plan that targets impaired physical mobility helps focus interventions on improving the patient’s functional status.
    Q8 Answer: C Rationale: When administering IV steroids, it is essential to do so slowly. Slow administration minimizes the risk of adverse effects and infusion-related complications, ensuring safer therapy during an MS relapse.
