Answer to Question 1

4. Report any bleeding or bruising.

Rationale:
Elderly clients are at risk for increased bleeding with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy. Elderly clients often takeseveral medications, and refraining from taking them with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) is an unrealistic outcome. Mood changes are not a side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy. There is no reason for avoiding use of caffeine while using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Answer to Question 2

Right on time. Thanks a bunch.

Answer to Question 3

C
There are 188 NANDA-I approved nursing diagnoses as of 2007.
