While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patients temperature is 104F 40C, blood pressure is 9064 mmHg, pulse is 88min, and respirations are 18min with an oxygen saturation of 90 on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patients most likely diagnosis?? A: Contaminated beef, B: Epiglottic cyst, C: Influenza vaccination, D: Mosquito bite, E: Spelunking,  <response>: Based on the symptoms described in the question stem, including high fever, muscle twitching, respiratory distress, and altered mental status, the most likely diagnosis is meningitis or encephalitis. The key to this question is identifying which of the answer choices is a known risk factor for meningitisencephalitis. Contaminated beef can cause food poisoning but is not typically associated with meningitisencephalitis. An epiglottic cyst may cause respiratory distress but would not explain the other symptoms. The influenza vaccine and mosquito bites are not known risk factors. Spelunking or exploring caves can increase risk of infection from fungi or bat droppings that can lead to meningitisencephalitis.E: Spelunking
