A nurse is preparing a presentation about alcohol withdrawal. Which of the following findings should the nurse include in the presentation?

C. Dementia related to a traumatic brain injury can result in a variety of cognitive and physical impairments. A shuffling gait, characterized by short steps with feet barely leaving the ground, is often associated with Parkinsonian symptoms, which can occur in advanced stages of dementia or as the condition progresses. Therefore, a shuffling gait would indicate worsening of the client's condition.

A. While visual disturbance can occur in individuals with dementia, visual field cuts alone may not necessarily indicate worsening of the condition unless they are accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

B. CD4 counts are a measure of immune system function, particularly in relation to HIV/AIDS. Decreased CD4 counts are not typically associated with dementia related to traumatic brain injury and would not be a relevant finding in this context.

C. This statement indicates an understanding of the needs of clients who are part of vulnerable populations because it demonstrates an awareness of the importance of client-centered care.

A. This statement suggests a narrow focus on the immediate reason for the client's visit. While addressing the client's presenting concern is important, a limited assessment may overlook underlying issues or social determinants of health that could impact the client's well-being.

D. This statement suggests overlooking the importance of cultural competence in nursing practice. Cultural traditions, beliefs, and practices can significantly influence a client's health beliefs, behaviors, and preferences for care.
