An older adult male with moderately severe dementia
presents with his caregiver daughter. His BMI is 18. His
clothes have food stains on them and he looks as though he
hasn’t been bathed in days. How should the nurse
practitioner handle this?

The NP should comment to the daughter

about his poor care.

The NP should report this as potential elder

abuse.

The patient should be asked about his care.
The daughter should be asked about the type of care he
receives.
This patient presents as though he is being poorly cared for
and mistreated. This occurs in about 3-8% of the adult
population in the United States. There is no evidence that the
patient has been physically abused, but he obviously suffers
from neglect. This is a form of elder abuse, just as physical,
sexual, psychological, or financial abuse is. Older adults with
dementia often suffer abuse most frequently.

A nurse practitioner is working in a minor care area of an
emergency department. An illegal immigrant has a puncture
wound caused by an unknown sharp object in a trash

container. A dirty needle is suspected. The nurse
practitioner:
Should administer a tetanus injection only since the patient
has no medical insurance.
Should prescribe appropriate medications for HIV exposure
even though the nurse practitioner knows the patient can’t
afford them.
Should not mention the possibility of HIV exposure from a
dirty needle to the patient.
Can offer to buy the HIV medications for $50 with their
professional discount at the pharmacy next door.
The standard of care followed by the nurse practitioner
should not depend on whether the patient has insurance or
not. It is unethical to not properly inform the patient of risks
he may have been exposed to from the puncture wound.
Offering to buy the medications for the patient is noble but is
not a sustainable practice. The nurse practitioner should
prescribe the medications as for anyone with possible HIV
exposure and refer to social services or a community referral
agency that can help this patient acquire the appropriate
medications.
A nurse practitioner is working in a minor care clinic. She
realizes that a patient with a minor laceration does not have
insurance and is using his brother’s insurance information
today so that his visit will be covered. How should she
proceed?
She should let him know that she knows

what he is doing. She should ignore this

and proceed to suture his wound.

She should let the clinic's business office know

what is happening.

She should not suture his wound and ask him to

leave.

The nurse practitioner cannot ignore the fact that this patient
is attempting to defraud the clinic and insurance company in
order to receive free care. If she does not let the business
office know, she is a party to the fraud. She should let the
business office know what is happening and have the patient
present documents verifying that he is who he states that he is.
If he cannot, he can still receive care if he is willing to pay for
it. An alternative care site should be offered to him.

Meta-analysis
Observational studies are studies in which subjects are
observed. No intervention takes place with them. Examples
of these are found in the first three choices. A meta-analysis
takes published information from other studies and
combines the information to arrive at a conclusion.
Although a meta-analysis can use observational studies,
