Which nursing diagnosis related to alterations in urinary function in an older person should be a nurse’s first priority for action? a. Self-care deficit related to decreased mobility. b. Risk of infection. c. Anxiety related to urinary frequency. d. Impaired self-esteem related to lack of independence. ANS: B In many older persons, muscle tone is poor, which leads to an inability of the bladder to empty completely. Residual urine greatly increases the risk of infection. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, physical health risks should be addressed before emotional/cognitive risks such as anxiety and self-esteem. Decreased mobility can lead to self-care deficit; the nurse’s priority concern for this diagnosis would be infection because the older person must rely on others for basic hygiene.
