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
The correct answer is choice d. “Limit the number of choices for the client.” Choice A rationale: Using written signs to assist the client with locating the bathroom can be helpful, but it is not the most critical strategy for managing Alzheimer’s disease. Choice B rationale: Providing a stimulating environment for the client can sometimes lead to overstimulation, which may increase confusion and agitation in clients with Alzheimer’s disease. Choice C rationale: Using confrontation to manage the client’s behavior is not recommended as it can lead to increased agitation and aggression. Choice D rationale: Limiting the number of choices for the client helps reduce confusion and anxiety, making it easier for them to make decisions and feel more in control.
