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.

Liula [17]

Given that,

Age of Mrs Jones = 55 years

Height = 5'6''

Weight = 140 lb = 63.6 kg

The tube feeding ordered for her provides:

1 cal/mL and 40 grams of protein/1000 mL.

It is infusing at a rate of 50 mL/hour for 24 hour.

Suppose, We need to find her protein needs per day

We know that,

According to the DRI, 0.8 gram of protein per kg of body weight is required protein per day.

Thus,

We need to calculate her protein needs per day

Using formula for protein needs per day

Protein = 0.8\times W

Put the value of weight

Protein = 0.8\times63.6

Protein = 50.88\ g

Hence, 50.88g of protein are needed per day for Mrs jones.

Given the vast amount of breakdown of his tooth enamel and the black discoloration, what do you suspect may be the primary cause
Evgen [1.6K]

The vast amount of breakdown of his tooth enamel and the black discoloration, I suspect tartar and tooth decay may be the primary cause of this deterioration

<h3>Tartar</h3>

A dentist will have to remove the build-up when tartar is the cause, typically by scraping the tartar off the teeth. The dentist may have to use ultrasonic instruments that use vibration to break up the tartar and make it easier to remove.

<h3>Tooth decay</h3>

In cases of decay, it's unlikely that a dentist will be able to improve the black teeth through a simple cleaning. they're going to instead need to remove the decayed portion of the tooth.
