Question

58.A 50-year-old dementia patient was admitted to a hospital. On assessment, he had forgetfulness, fluctuating mood and impaired decision making ability. His son is struggling to prevent him from removing the IV line. What is the most expected immediate outcome to be achieved after hours of intervention? (A) Improved memory (B) Reduced disturbance (C) Reduced mood fluctuation (D) Improved ability to make own decision

Answer 1

The most expected immediate outcome to be achieved after hours of intervention for a 50-year-old dementia patient who is struggling to remove the IV line would be (B) Reduced disturbance.In the context of a dementia patient, immediate interventions are typically focused on ensuring the patient's safety and preventing harm. In this case, the patient's behavior of trying to remove the IV line is a form of disturbance that can lead to potential harm. Therefore, the immediate goal would be to reduce this disturbance to prevent the patient from removing the IV line and ensure their safety.While improved memory, reduced mood fluctuation, and improved ability to make own decisions may be long-term goals for managing dementia, they are not the immediate outcomes expected after hours of intervention in this scenario. The primary focus in this situation is on managing the patient's behavior and ensuring their safety.
