The family of an older patient with Alzheimer's disease does not want to discuss long-term care placement for at least a few years. How should the nurse respond to the family?
 
  1. Long-term care placement is inevitable with this diagnosis.
  2. It often takes a year for an individual with Alzheimer's disease to be admitted.
  3. Talking about it now gives you time to think about locations and make a decision.
  4. By providing this information now, we will not need to address these concerns later.

Question 2

A 75-year-old male client is seen at a primary care physician's office for a routine yearly checkup. Which finding as part of the checkup is suggestive of a pathological process involving the hematologic system?
 
  A) hemoglobin: 15.0
  B) WBC: 9000
  C) splenomegaly
  D) pulse rate of 86 beats per minute
