The nurse is planning care for an adult who has myasthenia gravis. What should be included in the care plan?
ExplanationPersons who have myasthenia gravis have upper body defi cits. Dysphagia is a common symptom, so checking gag and swallowing refl exes before the client eats is appropriate. Persons who have myasthenia gravis are usually strongest early in the day and become weaker as the day progresses. There is no need to encourage frequent bathing. Persons who have Parkinson’s disease are apt to have greasy oily skin and hair.
