An 83-year-old woman is admitted to the unit after being examined in the emergency department (ED) and diagnosed with delirium. After the admission interviews with the client and her grandson, the nurse explains that there will be more laboratory tests and x-rays done that day. The grandson says, “She has already been stuck several times and had a brain scan or something. Just give her some medicine and let her rest.” The nurse should tell the grandson which of the following? Select all that apply.

1. “I agree she needs to rest, but there is no one specific medicine for your grandmother's condition.”

2. “The doctor will look at the results of those tests in the ED and decide what other tests are needed.”

3. “Delirium commonly results from underlying medical causes that we need to identify and correct.”

4. “Tell me about your grandmother's behaviors and maybe I could figure out what medicine she needs.”

5. “I'll ask the doctor to postpone more tests until tomorrow.”
