Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A male client is admitted to the unit with a possible diagnosis of delirium. Which statement by the client's wife best supports the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because delirium is characterized by a rapid onset of confusion, changes in behavior, and altered mental status. The wife's statement about the changes in behavior coming on quickly aligns with this key characteristic of delirium.
Choice A is incorrect because the client's feelings after his mother's death are not necessarily related to delirium.
Choice B is incorrect because long-term forgetfulness is more indicative of dementia rather than delirium.
Choice D is incorrect because delirium is not a normal part of aging.
