Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

To support the older patient's cognitive-psychosocial status, the nurse should provide ample time for teaching and learning. The nurse should not treat the older patient as a child by setting limits, by stating that all care decisions will be made by the physician, or by reminding that the call bell is for emergencies only.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Avoiding shaving the older patient is one intervention to support the patient's integumentary status. Speaking in low tones and using adequate room lighting would support the patient's sensory-perceptual status. Teaching deep breathing and coughing and monitoring lung sounds would support the patient's respiratory status. Monitoring peripheral pulses and edema would support the patient's cardiovascular status.
