Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from an older adult client. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client has a bladder infection?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Older adults with bladder infections (UTIs) often lack classic symptoms, presenting with altered mental status confusion or lethargy from systemic inflammation or bacteremia, per geriatric care standards. Normal WBC (9,000/mm³) doesn't rule out UTI; leukocytosis isn't always present early. A slight fever (37.3°
C) supports infection but isn't definitive alone. Diminished reflexes tie to aging or neurology, not UTI. Mental status change is a red flag prompting urinalysis and antibiotics preventing sepsis, making it the strongest indicator in this population.
