Which clinical indicator does the nurse expect to identify when assessing a client admitted with a herniated lumbar disk?
Pain radiating to the hip and leg
Stiffness in shoulders
Paralysis of both lower extremities
Overgrowth of tissue on the lower back
Homework Answers
The correct answer is pain radiating to the hip and leg.
A herniated disc occurs most often in the lumbar region of spine at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels because the lumbar spine carries most of the body's weight.
The main signs and symptoms of herniated lumbar disk includes sciatica- pain that starts near the back or buttocks and travels down to the leg and calf, muscle weakness in the legs, decreased reflexes at the knee or ankle, spasm of the back muscles, intermittent or continuous back pain. The pain will get worse by movement, coughing, sneezing, or standing for long periods of time.
