NSG 6340 Week 6 Discussion Latest

This week’s content discussed common psychiatric disorders in Adult and Older Adult clients. Often a secondary diagnosis is masked due to their psychiatric disorder. Review the following case study and answer the following questions.

Mr. White is a 72-year-old man with a history of hypertension, COPD, and moderate dementia who presents with 4 days of increased confusion, nighttime restlessness, visual hallucinations, and urinary incontinence. His physical exam is unremarkable except for tachypnea, a mildly enlarged prostate, inattentiveness, and a worsening MMSE score from a baseline of 18 to 12 today.

Mr. White’s presentation is most consistent with acute delirium (acute change in cognition, perceptual derangement, waxing and waning consciousness, and inattention).

• What is the most likely diagnosis to frequently cause acute delirium in patients with dementia?
• What additional testing should you consider, if any?
• What are treatment options to consider with this patient?
