💊 NCLEX-RN Exam Prep

Which intervention is most appropriate for a client experiencing an acute episode of Meniere's disease?

A Encourage ambulation to promote circulation.
B Provide a low-sodium diet and limit caffeine.
C Place the client in a quiet, darkened room in a semi-Fowler's position.
D Instruct the client to turn the head rapidly to assess for nystagmus.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

During an acute attack of Meniere's disease, clients experience severe vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. A quiet, darkened room and a comfortable, still position (like semi-Fowler's) minimize stimuli and reduce exacerbation of symptoms. Rapid head movements would worsen vertigo.
