A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has dementia. The client's family member asks why the provider will not prescribe a medication to calm the client down. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. "It can increase their risk for falls." Sedating medications, such as benzodiazepines and antipsychotics, increase fall risk due to drowsiness and impaired coordination. B. "It increases their risk of experiencing a stroke." While some antipsychotics increase stroke risk, this is not the most relevant concern for sedating medications in dementia patients. C. "It can increase their blood pressure." Most sedatives lower blood pressure rather than increase it. D. "It can increase their risk for infection." Sedating medications do not directly increase infection risk.
