The nurse is providing care for older adult clients in an extended care facility. Which patient should be monitored for signs of urosepsis?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The patient who has an indwelling catheter for a urinary tract infection (UTI) is at the highest risk of developing urosepsis. Indwelling catheters provide a direct pathway for bacteria to enter the urinary tract, leading to infections that can escalate to sepsis.
