Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who was alert and oriented at admission, but now seems increasingly restless and intermittently confused. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to address the client's safety needs?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Move the client to a room closer to the nurses' station. This action is appropriate because it allows for closer monitoring of the client's behavior and ensures quick intervention if needed. Restlessness and confusion in an older adult could indicate underlying issues such as delirium or medication side effects. Moving the client closer to the nurses' station enables immediate assessment and assistance, promoting safety.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Applying restraints should be a last resort due to potential physical and psychological harm.
C: Administering sedative medication does not address the underlying cause of restlessness and confusion.
D: While involving family is important, it may not be feasible for immediate safety needs and addressing the client's condition.
