An elderly patient is admitted with delirium secondary to a urinary tract infection. "The family asks whether the patient will recover?" What would be the nurses' best answer?

A. Delirium is usually acute and reversible, especially when caused by an underlying condition like a UTI. B. Delirium in elderly patients is often secondary to an acute illness such as a urinary tract infection. Treatment of the underlying cause typically resolves the confusion, so this statement provides accurate and reassuring information to the family. C. While the provider can give a formal prognosis, the nurse can provide evidence-based, general information about delirium recovery. D. While supportive, this does not address the family’s question about recovery.
