A nurse is providing teaching to the caregivers of a client who has Alzheimer's disease and wanders during the night about safety. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make?

Choice A reason: Encouraging the client to rest during the day is not appropriate. Daytime rest can worsen nighttime wakefulness and wandering. Clients with Alzheimer’s benefit from structured daytime activity to promote nighttime sleep. Choice B reason: Asking the client why they continue to get out of bed is ineffective. Clients with Alzheimer’s often cannot provide logical explanations due to cognitive decline. This approach does not enhance safety. Choice C reason: Moving the mattress to the floor is correct because it reduces the risk of injury if the client attempts to get out of bed or falls. This is a practical safety intervention for clients who wander or are restless at night. Choice D reason: Keeping a television on at night introduces noise and light, which can increase agitation and confusion. It disrupts sleep and does not prevent wandering.
