The nursing assistant should immediately report the abnormal data that the home health client is exhibiting to the case manager. The vital signs are normal, but it is not unusual for an older adult to not have a fever with an infection. The pulse was not elevated because the client has a pacemaker pacing the heart. The hallucinations and urinary symptoms must be reported as they strongly suggest that the client has a urinary tract infection. It is normal to have a surgical dressing that is dry and intact.
