    A nurse is assisting with a community health program for caregivers of clients who have Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    It is important to provide choices for the client, but limit them to two or three options to prevent confusion and decision-making difficulties. Use visual cues to assist the client with locating the bathroom, such as pictures or color-coded signs instead of written signs. Avoid using confrontation to manage the client's behavior, as it can increase agitation and aggression. Instead, use redirection and positive reinforcement. Provide a calm and non-stimulating environment for the client, as overstimulation can lead to confusion and agitation.
