Initial Discussion Post:
* Describe developmental changes associated with aging which put this patient at risk for injury
Older Adults, have "physiological changes do occur examples are reduce-muscle strength, and joint mobility, slow of reflexes, decrease ability to respond to multiple stimuli, and sensory loss."(pg. 653 Treas) that puts them at risk for falls.
NANDA-I label Risk for Injury aeb weakness, unsteady gait, fatigue r/t UTI
* Identify three (3) interventions that would help this patient achieve the outcome
* Include your rationale for each intervention.
1. Assess vital signs, educate patient on diagnosis of UTI and teach them to increase water.
Rationale: Vital signs will show increase or decrease
