Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General management and care for a patient with neuromuscular disease often includes nutritional assessment to ensure the patient is receiving adequate nutrition despite potential swallowing difficulties, gastrostomy tube placement for those who cannot safely swallow, and mechanical ventilation for those with respiratory muscle weakness. Weekly nerve conduction studies are not a standard care component and are typically used for diagnosis or specific monitoring, not routine weekly management.
