A patient with signs of cognitive dysfunction is admitted from home with an acute onset of confusion

A patient with signs of cognitive dysfunction is admitted from home with an acute onset of confusion, change in level of consciousness, a sacral pressure ulcer, and emaciation. The patient has a pulse rate of 110 beats/min, a respiratory rate of 30 breaths/min, a white blood cell (WBC) count of 16,000/mm3, a prealbumin level of 10.7 mg/dL, and a temperature of 102° F. The patient is grimacing and moaning when she is repositioned. The patient’s daughter states, “My mom’s really gotten worse since yesterday; her eyes won’t focus on me.”

1.   Which of the data obtained from the patient’s history would the nurse classify as objective data?

2.   Which of the data obtained from the patient’s history would the nurse classify as subjective data?

3.   The patient has surgery to debride the sacral ulcer, which is the cause of the infection and the patient’s signs and symptoms. What physical data would lead the nurse to prepare the pain medication ordered for the patient?
