Ménière's disease triggers attacks of vertigo that present safety concerns for the client. While all the questions elicit useful information, knowing that a client has no warning before becoming dizzy would lead the nurse to advise that the client not drive, swim, climb ladders or scaffolds, or do other activities where a sudden onset of dizziness would present an increased risk of injury.
