Okay, this question here says a nurse is assessing an older adult client which of the following physiological changes should a nurse expect? select all that apply.
00:09
You have increased skin dryness, increased peripheral circulation, decreased visual acuity, decreased muscle strength or increased cough reflex.
00:17
So in this case, let's go for option one that says increased skin dryness.
00:25
Aging often leads to reduced skin elasticity and moisture, resulting in increased dryness and potential skin problems.
00:33
So this one is actually true.
00:36
Now let's go for increased peripheral circulation, that is option two.
00:41
In this case, peripheral circulation tends to decrease with age, leading to issues like cold extremities due to reduced blood flow to the limbs.
00:51
So practically the correct options would be decreased peripheral circulation instead of increased peripheral circulation.
00:57
So you would have here that this is false.
00:59
Option three says decreased visual acuity...
