Answer 1

9. Answer C. Blended

A blended family is a family where the parents have children from their previous marriage of one of both couples. The other options given are not appropriate as an extended family means a family that extends beyond the nuclear family like grandparents and other relatives. A traditional family is a family with a mother, a father with biological or adopted children whereas a single parent is a family with either a mother or a father with their children.

10. Answer D. Bladder retraining program should be started immediately

Geriatrics patients' muscles become weak and their ability to control urine may also be reduced. In such cases, they can be given a bladder retraining program. The other options given are not correct as this is not normal although it may be common in geriatric clients but not considered normal. The patient should be taken to the physician if he develops other symptoms like fever, chills, urinary tract infection and this is not a sign of Alzheimer's disease.

11. Answer D. Cataract laser surgery

Presbyopia is the gradual loss of the ability of the eyes to focus on the nearby objects. The treatment options for presbyopia are reading glasses, glasses with a bifocal lens, multifocal contact lenses, monovision using contact lenses or by doing a LASIK surgery( cataract laser surgery) which fully correct the distant vision of one eye this makes the other eye mildly nearsighted. Therefore the correct answer to this statement is “ cataract laser surgery”. The first two options are not correct, the third option to give large print teaching material can be useful for patients with presbyopia, but surgery would be the most appropriate treatment.

12. Answer A. despite the loss of his limb, the client may consider himself to be healthy.

A male client is being assessed by the nurse who has an artificial limb as a result of a plane crash many years earlier the nurse should understand that despite the loss of his limb the client should consider himself as healthy. Artificial limbs are designed to function as the normal limbs, the client body may take some time to adapt with the change but eventually the body adapts itself and the client should always consider himself healthy.

13. Answer B. Delirium

A 73-year-old is admitted to the nursing home with complains of nausea, vomiting, agitation and confusion and has taken very few liquids in the past few weeks. This suggests that the client may be suffering from delirium. Delirium is an acutely disturbed state of mind characterized by restlessness, agitation confusion. it can be caused by a number of factors like alcohol, certain drugs, malnutrition, dehydration, fever, sleep deprivation, etc. the other options given are not appropriate as dementia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by memory loss, personality changes and alterations in thinking and the patient does not exhibit any of these symptoms. The patient has also no history of alcohol use. Also, the above said symptoms are not the effects of aging.
