B, C, D, E, F
Symptoms of NMS begin with a sudden change in the client's level of consciousness and a rapid onset of rigid muscles. Often there is an associated respiratory difficulty, tremors, and an inability to speak; however, the cardinal sign of NMS is a high body temperature. Temperatures can reach as high as 108 F but usually range between 101 F and 103 F. Hypothermia and slow, shallow respirations are not indicative of NMS.
