Obtunded describes the client who is difficult to arouse and when aroused is confused. Lethargic describes the client who is not fully awake and tends to drift off to sleep when not actively stimulated. Somnolent describes a client who is sleepy. Depressed is an emotional feeling.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Safety measures that help to prevent accidents and injuries include orienting clients to the room and the nurse call system; using lights at night to help orient clients to their environment; keeping beds in the lowest possible position; and placing clients in rooms closest to the nursing station for closer observation. Keeping the door closed and leaving the television on may lead to perception issues, which could increase the client's risk of falling.
