Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The family of an older adult client brings him to the emergency department after finding him wandering outside. During the initial assessment, the nurse notes that the client flinches when she palpates his abdomen yet responds to questions only by nodding and smiling. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify as a likely explanation for the client's behavior?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The client's flinching when the nurse palpates his abdomen suggests that he may be experiencing pain. Pain can cause behavioral changes in older adults, including withdrawal, decreased verbal communication, and altered facial expressions. The client's inability to verbally communicate but ability to nod and smile in response to questions further supports the possibility of pain affecting his behavior.
