Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reporting sudden onset of dizziness, weakness, and confusion in an older adult may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Therefore, advocating for a complete physical examination is the best initial nursing intervention to determine and address the cause of these symptoms. Options A, C, and D do not address the potential medical concerns and would not be appropriate initial interventions in this situation.
