An older adult male with moderately severe dementia
presents with his caregiver daughter. His BMI is 18. His
clothes have food stains on them and he looks as though he
hasn’t been bathed in days. How should the nurse handle
this?
The NP should comment to the daughter
about his poor care.
The NP should report this as potential elder
abuse.
The client should be asked about his care.
The daughter should be asked about the type of care he
receives.
This client presents as though he is being poorly cared for
and mistreated. This occurs in about 3-8% of the adult
population in the United States. There is no evidence that the
client has been physically abused, but he obviously suffers
from neglect. This is a form of elder abuse, just as physical,
sexual, psychological, or financial abuse is. Older adults with
dementia often suffer abuse most frequently.
A nurse is working in a minor care area of an emergency
department. An illegal immigrant has a puncturewound caused
by an unknown sharp object in a trash
,container. A dirty needle is suspected. The nurse
practitioner:
Should administer a tetanus injection only since the client
has no medical insurance.
Should prescribe appropriate medications for HIV exposure
even though the nurse knows the client can’t afford them.
Should not mention the possibility of HIV exposure from a
dirty needle to the client.
Can offer to buy the HIV medications for $50 with their
professional discount at the pharmacy next door.
The standard of care followed by the nurse should not
depend on whether the client has insurance or not. It is
unethical to not properly inform the client of riskshe may
have been exposed to from the puncture wound.
Offering to buy the medications for the client is noble but isnot
a sustainable practice. The nurse should prescribe the
medications as for anyone with possible HIV exposure and
refer to social services or a community referralagency that can
help this client acquire the appropriate medications.
A nurse is working in a minor care clinic. She realizes that a
client with a minor laceration does not haveinsurance and is
using his brother’s insurance information today so that his
visit will be covered. How should she proceed?
She should let him know that she knows
what he is doing. She should ignore this
, and proceed to suture his wound.
She should let the clinic's business office know
what is happening.
She should not suture his wound and ask him to
leave.
The nurse cannot ignore the fact that this client is attempting
to defraud the clinic and insurance company in order to
receive free care. If she does not let the business office know,
she is a party to the fraud. She should let the business office
know what is happening and have the client present
documents verifying that he is who he states that he is.If he
cannot, he can still receive care if he is willing to pay for it. An
alternative care site should be offered to him.
