Document Summary
The nurse is interviewing a newly admitted psychiatric client. Go on. : the nurses" statement, "yes, i see. Go on," is an example of a general lead. Which information should cause the nurse to question the client"s safety: the client smokes one pack of cigarettes per day, the nurse should question the client"s safety at home if the client smokes cigarettes. Patients with this disorder become confused and are at risk for injury: a client diagnosed with alzheimer"s disease (ad) is prescribed donepezil (aricept). Which is the appropriate nursing response: "this medication delays the destruction of acetycholine, a chemical in the brain necessary for memory processes. Although most effective in the early stages, it serves to delay, but not stop, the progression of the ad. Some side effects include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal upset: a client exhibiting dependent behavior says," do you think i should move from my parent"s house and get a job?"
