Problem
A patient has been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. She seems a little testy and complains of headaches and a stomachache. She also says she has not been sleeping well. She is waking up in the wee hours of the morning and is not able to go back to sleep. She says it's making her very tired and is wearing her out.
What do the symptoms signal? What are some factors that cause this condition in older adults? How will you discuss guidelines and community resources with your patient?
