An elderly woman is brought to the clinic by her daughter. The client states that she has had a cold for several days.
 
  Her daughter states that her mother has been confused about when her routine medications are to be taken and that her mother has never experienced confusion about her medications before. Based on this information, it is important that the nurse ask the client whether: a. There is a history of mental illness in the family
  b. She has been given a diagnosis of a mental health disorder in the past
  c. She can recall her last visit to a physician
  d. She has taken any over-the-counter medications for her cold

Over-the-counter cold medications can cause confusion in the elderly population. Because this client has had a cold recently, it would be important to determine whether she has been taking any of these types of medications. There is no indication that the other options have any significance in relation to the acute confusion.
