Using the client information provided, respond to the critical thinking questions. Each response should be original (in your own words) and a minimum of 2–3 sentences in length. Client Information Meet Mrs. Dee. Mrs. Dee, an 86-year-old female, is in your unit and has had difficulty taking her pills. During the shift report, the nurse reported that she pulverized Mrs. Dee’s medication and administered them with applesauce. However, Mrs. Dee still had difficulty swallowing the medication. You will be responsible for reporting Mrs. Dee’s health care needs at the interdisciplinary team conference. Critical Thinking Questions: 1. How would you advocate for this client? 2. What are the most important issues that need to be addressed with the other health care team members? 3. How would you convince a physician who is reluctant to make any changes in Mrs. Dee’s plan of care to provide an order for liquid medications?
