Sally, a 5-year-old child, was bitten on the hand by a bat that was later diagnosed with rabies. She was immediately treated after the bite but had to go through a series of more involved treatments after the rabies diagnosis in the bat that bit her. How does the rabies virus get to the brain from a simple hand wound?
What symptoms would a nurse focus on in his or her care of a patient with multiple sclerosis?

The virus is transmitted in the saliva of an infected animal. From the point of entry (usually a bite), the rabies virus travels along nerves to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where it multiplies.

Explanation:

In multiple sclerosis (MS), nerve conduction is disrupted by the destruction of the myelin sheath. The central nervous system or CNS is the part of the nervous system made up of the brain and spinal cord.

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a long-lasting disease that can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body functions.

The main goal of treatment is to maximize the quality of life by managing specific symptoms, shortening any exacerbations and slowing the progression of the disease.
