Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has delirium as a result of sepsis. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: B,C,E

Rationale: The correct manifestations for a client with delirium due to sepsis include rapid mood changes, hallucinations, and restlessness. Rapid mood changes are common due to the altered mental state. Hallucinations can occur as a result of the brain's dysfunction. Restlessness is a common behavioral manifestation in delirium. Slow speech (choice
A) is not typically associated with delirium; instead, speech may be rapid or incoherent. Unaltered level of consciousness (choice
D) is incorrect as delirium is characterized by altered consciousness.
Therefore, the correct manifestations for delirium in this scenario are rapid mood changes, hallucinations, and restlessness.
