Which age-related change should the nurse consider when ▶ formulating a plan of care for an older adult? Select all that apply. a) Difficulty in swallowing b) Increased sensitivity to heat c) Increased sensitivity to glare d) Diminished sensation of pain e) Heightened response to stimuli 1. Answer: c, d. 1 There should be no interference with swallowing in older individuals. 2 Older individuals tend to feel the cold and rarely complain of the heat. 3 Changes in theciliary muscles, decrease in pupil size, and a more rigid pupil sphincter contribute to an increased sensitivity to glare. 4 This may make an older individual unaware ofa serious illness, thermal extremes, or excessive pressure. 5 There is a decreased response to stimuli in the olderindividual.
