Grief therapeutic response - correct answer By understanding the phenomena that clients experience as they deal with the discomfort of loss, nurses may promote the expression and release of emotional as well as physical pain during grieving. Supporting this process means ministering to psychological—and physical—needs
The therapeutic relationship and therapeutic communication skills such as active listening are paramount when assisting grieving clients. Recognizing the verbal and nonverbal communication content
of the various stages of grieving can help nurses select interventions that meet the client's psychological and physical needs. Delirium care - correct answer Delirium is a syndrome that involves disturbed consciousness and changes
in cognition. It is usually caused by an underlying, treatable medical condition such as physiological or metabolic imbalances, infections, nutritional deficits, medication reactions or interactions, drug intoxication, or alcohol withdrawal.
The primary goals of nursing care for clients with delirium are protection from injury, management of confusion, and meeting physiological and psychological needs.
Alzheimers hallucinations - correct answer Alzheimer disease is a progressive brain disorder that has a gradual onset but causes an increasing decline in functioning, including loss of speech, loss of motor function, and profound personality and behavioral changes such as paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, inattention to hygiene, and belligerence. It is evidenced by atrophy of cerebral neurons, senile plaque deposits, and enlargement of the third and fourth ventricles of the brain.
Risk for Alzheimer disease increases with age, and average duration from onset of symptoms to death is 8 to 10 years. Research has identified genetic links to both early- and late-onset Alzheimer disease
Alcohol withdrawal - correct answer Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant
CM:coarse hand tremors, sweating, elevated pulse and blood pressure, insomnia, anxiety, and nausea or vomiting. Severe or untreated withdrawal may progress to transient hallucinations, seizures, or delirium
Symptoms of withdrawal usually begin 4 to 12 hours after cessation
