Answer:
The new nurse should allow additional time for the elderly patient to answer questions. If the condition worsens, they may need further assistance.
The priority of care for a patient with a bleeding wound is to stop the bleeding (prevention).
The next priority is to control pain with medications. If bleeding does not stop or gets worse, something may be wrong.
Explanation:
Oftentimes in such situations, the bleeding will only get worse and could require urgent intervention.
The best first-line treatment would be the elevation of the patient's feet for at least 10 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Unlike adults, elderly patients are behaving very anxious about trauma. Thus it is essential to talk to them in a calm manner.
