A client with weakness and tingling in both legs is admitted to the medical-surgical unit with a tentative diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome. On admission, which assessment is most important for this client?

Lumbar puncture assessment and cerebrospinal fluid testing

Explanation:

Guillain-Barré syndrome consists of a group of neuropathic conditions characterized by progressive weakness and diminished or absent myotatic reflexes.

On admission, Lumbar puncture assessment is part of the important clinical recommendation for people with suspected Guillain-Barre syndrome. This is followed by cerebrospinal fluid testing which goes to show protien levels in a normail white blood cell count. The higher the protien levels in the normal white blood cell count, the higher the confirmation of the Guillain-Barre syndrome
