Gerontologic nurse is assessing client who has numerous comorbid health problems then the assessment that would prompt the nurse to suspect UTI is uncharacteristic fatigue and new onset of confusion.

<h3>What is the assessment for UTI who has comorbid health problem?</h3>

The most common symptom of UTI in older adults is generalized fatigue. and the most common objective finding is change in cognitive functioning. Food cravings, increased thirst and upper abdominal pain makes it necessary for further assessment and intervention but none is directly suggestive of an UTI.

Older adults are more vulnerable to UTIs, because with age, muscles in bladder and pelvic floor that can cause urine retention become weaker.

LiRa [457]

A student-athlete will normally comment that his/her heart feels like beating out of their chest as a natural reaction of the cardiovascular system during exercise. <u>TRUE.</u>

Jumping heartbeat is what you experience when you engage in strenuous or intensive exercise. This is due to the following changes that occur during exercise:

  • You gasp for air as your body need more oxygen
  • Your pulse/heart rate increases

These are natural and important reactions of the cardiovascular system during intense exercise.

The blood circulates oxygen. During exercise, you expend more oxygen. So, your cardiovascular system work rate increases during exercise.

Thus, a student-athlete will normally comment that his/her heart feels like beating out of their chest as a natural reaction of the cardiovascular system during exercise. <u>TRUE.</u>

A rescuer would perform CPR on an infant and child in the same manner as adult
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

This could go either way, depending on how you look at it, but I would probably lean towards false because they aren't the <em>exact </em>same.

Explanation:

The principles of CPR (compressing the chest and giving rescue breaths) are the same for children and infants as for adults. However, the CPR techniques are slightly different since children's and infants' bodies are smaller. One must be much more careful when giving CPR to a child due to them being more fragile.

a client recovering from an exacerbation of left-sided heart failure is experiencing activity intolerance. which change in vital
Hatshy [7]

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.
