Answer

The answer is:

  • Patients with poor hearing
  • Patients who underreport their symptoms
  • A cascade disease pattern that leads to health deterioration
Explanation
Patients with poor hearing:

Older adults often experience hearing loss, which can lead to communication difficulties. Nurses need to be observant and compassionate to ensure these patients understand their care instructions and can communicate their needs effectively.

Impatient or unhappy patients:

While impatience or unhappiness can occur in any age group, it is not specific to older adults. Therefore, it is not a unique issue requiring special observance and compassion solely for older adults.

Patients who underreport their symptoms:

Older adults may underreport symptoms due to various reasons, such as fear of hospitalization, not wanting to be a burden, or believing that their symptoms are just a part of aging. Nurses need to be vigilant and compassionate to identify and address these underreported symptoms.

Problems with insurance coverage and claims:

While insurance issues can affect older adults, they are not exclusive to this age group. Therefore, this is not a unique issue requiring special observance and compassion solely for older adults.

A cascade disease pattern that leads to health deterioration:

Older adults are more susceptible to a cascade of health issues where one problem leads to another, causing a decline in overall health. Nurses need to be particularly observant and compassionate to manage and mitigate these cascading health issues effectively.
