Neurocognitive DisordersYou are a nurse on a busy medical unit in a large metropolitan medical center. At 3:00 PM, you admit an 81-year-old patient to your unit with a diagnosis of pneumonia. She decided not to get an influenza vaccine this year and developed influenza followed by pneumonia. Her primary care physician treated her with a course of oral antibiotics, but when she did not improve, he admitted her to the hospital. She has a history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, and osteoarthritis. You complete her nursing admission assessment. She is independent in activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and she walks with a steady gait. She is alert and oriented. She is widowed and lives independently in the community. She is a retired surgical nurse. She is easily engaged and talkative. She tells you that you remind her of her granddaughter, who is also a nurse. She tells you that she usually wears eyeglasses but that she dropped them and broke them yesterday and that her daughter is taking them to be repaired. She also has a hearing aid in place. You orient her to the unit, insert her IV, and administer her first dose of antibiotics. After you give report to the oncoming shift, you stop to say good-bye to her, and she tells you that she will see you tomorrow.
When you get report from the night shift at 7:00 AM the following morning, you are surprised by the report. The night nurse reports that the woman has been up all night long, was agitated, climbed out of bed, and sustained a fall. In addition, she is incontinent of urine. You immediately go to see her. She is sitting up in bed and has pulled out her IV. She thinks that you are her daughter and states, Please get me out of here.
