Gentamicin is a nephrotoxic agent that places patients at risk for acute kidney injury, and this risk is
increased in older patients. Acute delirium (A), liver failure (C), and sepsis (D) are all complications that
could occur in an older adult with an infection but would not be caused by the administration of an
antibiotic.
An older patient is experiencing delirium 24 hours following hip replacement. Which intervention might
worsen the patient's condition?
A. Removing any unnecessary tubes and equipment from the room
B. Assessing and treating the patient's pain every 2 hours
C. Ensuring that the patient has the means to call for help
D. Loosely applying soft restraints - Answer✔✔-D.
Older patients are at increased risk for delirium during acute hospitalization. Interventions to manage
acute delirium include removing or camouflaging tubes, removing unnecessary equipment, frequently
reorienting the patient, and ensuring that the call bell is consistently within reach, assessing and treating
pain effectively, and encouraging mobility and involvement in activities of daily living. Restraining the
patient is contraindicated in the care of patients with delirium.
