A client with Alzheimer's disease in an assisted living complex has been treated for dehydration twice this year, mostly because he does not drink unless someone offers him water. The best way to monitor hydration status would be to:
1. Monitor weight daily.
2. Monitor input and output (I&O).
3. Offer him coffee several times a day.
4. Provide a pitcher of water and track how much he drinks.
Question 2
Mr. D. frequently drinks 34 martinis before dinner every night. He does not see himself as an alcoholic.
He feels that drinking liquor and beer are very different, and that alcoholics are people who drink beer in excess because only a small amount of liquor is used to make a martini. When discussing sources of alcohol, the best response for the nurse would be: 1. The alcohol in 4 martinis is equal to about 11 cans of regular beer..
2. People who drink martinis may consume a smaller amount of alcohol but can still be considered alcoholics..
3. Beer and martinis have the same alcohol and calorie content..
4. Only beer drinkers are considered alcoholics if they overindulge..
