A nurse is caring for an elderly man recently admitted to the ICU following a stroke. She
assesses his cognitive function using a new cognitive assessment test she learned about in a
G
recent article in a nursing journal. She then brings a cup of water and a straw to the patient
because she observes that his lips are dry. Later, she has the patient sit in a wheelchair and takes
