Practice Question
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an older adult client about expected physiological changes associated with aging. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I should expect to experience dry skin."
Rationale:
💎 Aging leads to a decrease in sebaceous and sweat gland activity, causing the skin to become dry, thin, and less elastic.
💎 Reduced collagen and subcutaneous fat make older adults more susceptible to bruising and skin injury.
💎 Dehydration or reduced fluid intake can worsen dryness, so adequate hydration and mild moisturizers are recommended.
💎 Other normal changes include delayed wound healing and decreased temperature regulation.
💎 The nurse should educate the client about gentle skincare routines and avoiding harsh soaps.
