Question 3 of 5

The nurse contacts the family and asks them to bring in clean clothing. Which intervention would best prevent further regression in the client's personal hygiene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clients with Alzheimer's-type dementia tend to fluctuate in their capabilities. Encouraging self-care to the extent possible helps increase the client's orientation and promotes a trusting relationship with the nurse.

Accepting the client's desire to go without bathing promotes poor hygiene.
