1. Mrs. Jones, 89 YOA, has been admitted to your unit with a pressure sore on her coccyx and failure to cope at home. She lives alone in a 4 level townhouse with 3 cats for company. You suspect she hasn't been eating well and she appears unkempt. She tells you that she "lives on tea and toast" for the most part as she finds it too difficult to shop and cook for herself. When you walk her to the bathroom she seems unsteady on her feet. She has a number of bruises on her arms and legs and tells you that she has had a "few falls" lately. Answer the following questions and use the Care Plan template provided to complete your care plan for the client. What can you identify as your assessment date - subjective and objective? What "red flags" or general problems have you identified? What are some actual and potential nursing diagnosis?
