The practical nurse (PN) should collect the following information during the admission assessment of a terminally ill client to an acute care facility:

Circumoral cyanosis, which is bluish discoloration around the mouth, can be a sign of inadequate oxygenation. It suggests that there may be an issue with the infant's respiratory or cardiovascular system, potentially indicating respiratory distress or a cardiac problem. Prompt assessment and intervention are necessary to determine the cause of the cyanosis and ensure the infant's well-being.

A. The six-hour-old infant with a large sacral "stork bite" refers to a common birthmark caused by dilated blood vessels. While it may be important to assess the birthmark and document its presence, it is not an urgent concern requiring immediate attention.
B. The two-day-old infant with a negative Ortolani's sign refers to a specific maneuver used to assess for developmental hip dysplasia or dislocation. A negative Ortolani sign indicates that there is no evidence of hip dislocation. While it is important to assess the infant's hips and document the findings, it does not require immediate attention.
D. The one-day-old infant with a positive Babinski's reflex refers to an abnormal response in which the infant's toes fan out and the big toe dorsiflexes when the sole of the foot is stimulated. While a positive Babinski's reflex can be a normal finding in infants under a certain age, it is important to assess the infant's neurological status. However, it does not require immediate attention compared to the infant with circumoral cyanosis, which indicates potential respiratory or cardiovascular distress.

Based on the given information, the statements that indicate the client's confusion is resolving are:

• Asks how long he has been in the hospital: This shows cognitive awareness and the ability to ask relevant and coherent questions.
• States he is hungry: This indicates a return to normal appetite and the ability to recognize and express basic needs.
• Recognizes his daughter: This demonstrates the ability to recognize and identify a familiar individual, suggesting an improved level of cognitive functioning.
• Oriented to time, place, and self: Being aware of the current time, location, and personal identity reflects an improved level of orientation and mental clarity.

• The statement "Drinking broth" does reflect the client's willingness and ability to consume food.

The following statements suggest ongoing confusion or potential issues:

• Clawing at the air: This behavior may indicate restlessness, agitation, or disorientation.
• Keeps trying to get out of bed to find the swimming pool: This behavior may indicate confusion or an altered perception of reality.

The statement "Oxygen saturation on 0.5L of 100%" provides information about the client's oxygen saturation level but does not specifically address the resolution of confusion.
