A nurse is providing teaching to a client with Meniere's disease. The nurse recognizes that which of the following instructions should be given to the client regarding vertigo?
Report dizziness at once.
Get up slowly, turning the entire body.
Drive in daylight hours only.
Change your position using the logroll technique.
The Correct Answer is B
A. While reporting dizziness is important, it does not directly aid in managing vertigo episodes.
B. Instructing the client to get up slowly while turning their entire body helps to reduce vertigo symptoms by minimizing head movement, which can trigger or worsen dizziness in Meniere’s disease.
C. Driving is not recommended during symptomatic periods of vertigo, as it could be unsafe.
D. The logroll technique is typically used for clients with spinal issues rather than vertigo management in Meniere’s disease.

C. Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone replacement and is not effective in controlling pituitary hormone release.
D. Corticosteroids do not inhibit growth hormone release and are typically used to manage inflammation rather than for pituitary hormone control.

Explanation
A. While chlorine can kill some bacteria, it does not prevent all microbial growth and does not directly explain ear infections.
B. Pool water entering the Eustachian tubes is unlikely; infections are more commonly related to pathogens in the water.
C. The best response addresses the presence of microorganisms in pool water that can enter the ear and potentially lead to infections, such as swimmer's ear (otitis externa).
D. Pool water is not typically associated with drying out the ears; rather, it can lead to excess moisture, which can promote bacterial growth.
