Answer: The home RN should visit the 30-year-old client with an exacerbation of multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via a centrally placed venous catheter

Explanation: The Registered Nurse should attend to the client with the topmost priority which is characterised as

-patients that are not stable or

-patients that are on life support that needs constant care.

The 30-year-old with an exacerbation of

multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via a centrally placed venous catheter us of topmost priority. This is because multiple sclerosis is a life threatening case in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. The treatment involves the use of cortisone which should be closely monitored.

Analysing the other options given,

A) the 5 months old baby is stable since the baby has been discharged and placed in amoxicillin liquid suspension.

B)The 50-year-old with multiple stage 3 & 4 pressure ulcers requiring dressing changes can be done later. It's not an emergency state.

D)The 78-year-old who had a gastrectomy three weeks ago with a PEG tube is stabilised.

Common behaviors that are a result of Alzheimer's disease are
Liula [17]

Answer:

angry outbursts and physical aggression, hand wringing pacing and rocking, accusing loved ones of wrong doing and hallucinating, repeating stories and leaving the house unassisted, sleep problems and sundowing

Explanation:

1, Verbal or physical aggression, which can be quite alarming, is common in patients with Alzheimer’s.

2, Dementia makes it very difficult to process stimuli and new information, causing many people with Alzheimer’s disease to become anxious. 

3, Caregivers may feel at a loss when an Alzheimer’s patient exhibits behavior that is clearly not grounded in reality: either hallucinations—perceiving something that isn’t really there—or delusions, which are false beliefs that can lead to paranoia.

4, The memory problems caused by Alzheimer’s disease can lead to a range of distressing behaviors, including repetition of words or activities, disorientation even in familiar places, and, in severe cases, confusion about the passage of time.

5, It’s not well understood why sleep disturbances occur in many Alzheimer’s patients, but it’s common for them to experience nighttime restlessness and changes to their sleep schedule.

Communication, or the lack of effective communication, is a leading cause for medical errors in hospitals.
loris [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When you don't explain clearly, or instruct direction clearly, the doctors might get confused, and not know what to do. When you have an emergency patient, you need to explain EVERY single thing you witnessed and encountered. When you don't explain exactly what happened in the ambulance, or when the guardian tells a lie, the patient is in danger.  You can't be lazy, you have to work hard and be on your toes every time.
