The Older Adult Patient Is Quite Ill and Confused and Begins

The older adult patient is quite ill and confused and begins to cry pitifully when the nurse approaches the bed to start an IV.The best action for the nurse at this point would be to:

A) Keep the infusion equipment out of sight as much as possible, talk slowly, and divert the attention of the patient.
B) Inform the patient that the physician has ordered the IV, and calmly continue to prepare the site and start the IV.
C) Give an analgesic as ordered, wait a few minutes, and then proceed.
D) Restrain the patient's arm to a padded arm board, and proceed as directed.
