A nurse in an adult day care facility is contributing to the plan of care for a client whose family reports recent confusion and memory loss. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the plan?

Choice A Reason: Confronting the client regarding inappropriate behavior is not appropriate. Individuals with memory loss may exhibit behaviors that result from their cognitive impairment, and confrontation can lead to distress. Choice B Reason: Offering several meal options at lunchtime can be overwhelming for clients with memory loss. Simplifying choices and providing clear options are more effective strategies. Choice C Reason: Inadequate lighting can contribute to disorientation and falls. Well-lit areas with natural or soft lighting are preferable. Choice D Reason: Clients experiencing confusion and memory loss benefit from visual cues and simple, clear communication. Using symbols (such as pictures of a toilet for the restroom or a plate for the dining area) can help them navigate the environment more easily and reduce frustration.
