Mrs Yoo Is 85 Years Old and Is Admitted for Coronary

Mrs. Yoo is 85 years old and is admitted for coronary artery bypass surgery. She has been living independently in her own home until this admission. What are some considerations you would have as the admitting nurse?

A) Because she has been healthy until this admission, Mrs. Yoo should be able to care for herself at home following discharge.
B) Given the major surgery Mrs. Yoo will have, arrangements should be made with family members to sell her home and to move her to a skilled care facility after discharge.
C) Mrs. Woo is likely to need some assistance when she goes home, so arrangements with home care nursing services should be arranged.
D) She most likely has relatives who can help her, so it is not a concern.
