Question

A 79-year-old client's spouse calls the clinic to report the client is having more bowel movements than usual, needs to be "yelled at" to hear what is said, and keeps asking if anyone else can hear a ringing noise. The client's medications include 250 mg acetazolamide for glaucoma, and the spouse states they have both needed more magnesium salicylate for arthritis because the cold weather increases their pain. The nurse should take which action for this client? Ask the spouse to keep a log of the client's behaviors over the next month. Schedule the client for an office visit with the primary care provider. Explain to the spouse that these are normal changes that come with aging. Instruct the spouse to take the client to the emergency department immediately.
