Assist client with relaxation techniques - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Check the client for

These are findings of autonomic dysreflexia, also called hyperreflexia. This response occurs
in clients with a spinal cord injury above the T-6 level. It is typically initiated by any noxious
stimulus below the level of injury such as a full bladder, an enema or bowel movement, fecal
impaction, uterine contractions, changing of the catheter and vaginal or rectal examinations.
The stimulus creates an exaggerated response of the sympathetic nervous system and can be a
life-threatening event. The BP is typically extremely high. The priority action of the nurse is
to identify and relieve the cause of the stimulus.
