Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client with Guillain-Barré syndrome typically experiences the weakest or most severe symptoms 2 to 3 weeks after the initial appearance of symptoms. This is when the client is most likely to require intensive medical intervention and therapeutic support. After this period, the client is likely to gradually improve and experience less severe symptoms over time.
