Mr. James is 91 years old. His daughter notices that he has bruises and
lacerations on his arms and reports this to the nurse practitioner, who tells her
that older people bruise easily due to their fragile blood vessels. The skin

assures the daughter that she will investigate further to ensure that he is getting
proper care. She says this because she understands that:

2. Bruises and lacerations can indicate inadequate care.
3. The daughter needs assurance that her father is okay.
