1. Mrs. Smith, 75 years old, reports that she is weak, has difficulty urinating, and
is dehydrated. Although she is afebrile, the nurse conducts a thorough physical
examination, including urinalysis and complete blood count (CBC). The total
assessment is necessary because:
1. All body systems interact, and symptoms could indicate a variety of diagnoses.
2.The symptoms are vague and may be signs of aging.
3.There may be other signs or symptoms more indicative of the condition.
4.Mrs. Smith may not be reporting all significant
information. - 1. Selected answer: 1Page: 2

2.
The nurse must not attribute symptoms only to the
aging process. 3.
There may be comorbidities accompanying
this condition. 4.
Assumptions of not reporting properly may not be true.

an increase in serum creatinine. The nurse practitioner needs to know which

ck 1.
The nurse practitioner should have a plan for the use of each test
result value obtained. 2.
When considering which laboratory tests to order, it is worth remembering the
doctrine primum no nnocere—first, do no harm.
3.
Once laboratory tests are available for review, tests results should be discussed
with the patient, with abnormal test results interpreted for the aging individual
and addressed with the patient and caregivers. 4.
Any risks involved in laboratory testing must be considered concerning the
patient's clinical condition and weighed against the test's expected benefits.
4. Janey, 25 years old, may experience arthritis differently than 65-year-old Mrs.
Johnson because:
1.The body undergoes physiological changes with aging.
2.A healthy body does not experience significant changes as one gets older.
3.Older patients do not feel any systemic symptoms, such as malaise and weight
loss.
4. Even though the same joints are usually affected, age makes it feel
different. - 4. Selected answer: 1Page: 5

ck 1.
Knowledge of the bimodality of age onset of certain disease conditions will aid
the advanced practice nurse in avoiding misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis due to
lack of recognition.
