Question 1 of 5
An older adult client experiences a change in mental status. Which assessment finding represents a critical thinking approach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: History of onset. This is because understanding the timing and progression of the mental status change is crucial in determining potential causes and appropriate interventions. Assessing the history of onset helps identify if the change was sudden or gradual, aiding in the differential diagnosis process.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the immediate assessment of the client's change in mental status. Focusing on the type of diet, cultural considerations, or gender may be important in a broader assessment but are not specific to addressing the sudden change in mental status.
