What is mental health
• Loss of movement, muscle tone, and sensation —usually begins in the feet and legs and eventually spreads to other parts. When a client’s mouth muscles relax, the jaw drops, and the mouth may stay open. The client’s face often looks peaceful.
• Slowing of peristalsis and other digestive functions —abdominal distension; fecal incontinence, urinary incontinence, or both; fecal impaction; nausea; and vomiting are common. The client usually refuses to eat or drink.
• Failure of circulation —the pulse is fast, weak, and irregular. Blood pressure begins to fall. Skin may have a mottled appearance.
• Failure of the respiratory system —presence of Cheyne–Stokes respirations. These respirations gradually increase in rate and depth, and then become shallow and slow, and then they stop for up to 30 seconds. Mucus collects in the airway and causes a wet, gurgling sound as the client breathes, known as the death rattle.
• Excessive fatigue and sleep —as the client’s metabolism slows down, the client may begin to sleep for prolonged periods throughout the day and night. The client may even become difficult to awaken or may lose consciousness. However, some clients do remain conscious until the moment of death.
• Changes in eating —the client may not be interested in eating food once loved or may have cravings for odd food.
• Social withdrawal —as the client’s circulation decreases and organs begin to fail, the client’s body is beginning to shut down. The client may gradually seem to lose interest in their surroundings; they may stop talking, may seem disinterested in activities (or people) and turn away visitors.
• Coolness in the tips of the fingers and toes —the client’s blood circulation slows and shifts away from the extremities in order to help the client’s major organs. As a result, a noticeable cooling, development of a bluish tint to the client’s skin, and cyanosis of the nail beds occur.
