▪ Monitor vital signs and neurologic status.
▪ Discuss end-of-life issues with the patient's family, if appropriate.
▪ Provide emotional support to the family.
Patient teaching
▪ Explain to the patient the underlying cause and its treatment.

Deep tendon reflexes, hyperactive:
Nursing considerations
(Nursing: Interpreting Signs and Symptoms)
▪ Prepare the patient for diagnostic tests to evaluate hyperactive DTRs, such as laboratory tests for serum calcium, magnesium, and ammonia levels; spinal X-rays; magnetic resonance imaging; a computed tomography scan; lumbar puncture; and myelography.
▪ If motor weakness accompanies hyperactive DTRs, perform or encourage range-of-motion exercises to preserve muscle integrity and prevent deep vein thrombosis.
▪ Reposition the patient frequently, supply a special mattress, provide skin care, and ensure adequate nutrition to prevent skin breakdown.
▪ Administer a muscle relaxant and sedative to relieve severe muscle contractions.
▪ Keep emergency resuscitation equipment on hand.
▪ Provide a quiet, calm atmosphere to decrease neuromuscular excitability.
▪ Assist with activities of daily living, and provide emotional support.
Patient teaching
▪ Explain the diagnosis, procedures, and treatments to the family.
▪ Discuss measures necessary to keep the patient safe.
