probable cause of this client's confusion?
A. Depression
B. Altered long-term memory
C. Decreased level of consciousness (LOC)
D. Stress related to an unfamiliar situation
Answer: D
The stress of being in an unfamiliar situation, such as admission to a hospital, can cause
confusion in geriatric clients. Depression doesn't produce confusion, but it can cause mood
changes, weight loss, anorexia, constipation, and early morning awakening. In geriatric
clients, long-term memory usually remains intact, although short-term memory may be
altered. Decreased LOC doesn't normally result from aging; therefore, it's a less likely cause
of confusion in this client.

help determine the size of the needle and the technique used to localize the site; however, it
doesn't affect drug absorption (unless the nurse inadvertently injects the medication into
the subcutaneous tissue instead of the muscle).
