Anurse caring for an older adult who has been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection checks the patient's temperature on admission and finds that it is 96.6°f. which of the following describes how the nurse should interpret the finding?
the patient is exhibiting a normal febrile response to a urinary tract infection.
the patient's absent febrile response indicates absence of an infection.
the patient may be exhibiting a blunted or absent febrile response.
the patient's temperature is normal so the patient does not have an infection.

The patient may be exhibiting a blunted or absent febrile response.

Explanation:

The nurse should interpret the condition that absent or blunted febrile response during the time of infection. It has been seen that more than 30% of the older adults are suffering from the serious infection related to the absent or even blunted febrile response. This may be because of delay in the diagnosis process and requires the initiation of the antimicrobial treatment.

i think life is life. many could argue that life is ‘nice’ or ‘fun’ but in the end, it is immaterial and will end. nihilism is my philosophy. nothing matters in the end so why make an effort?

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
