Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the remote memory of an older adult client who has mild dementia. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'What high school did you graduate from?' Remote memory involves recalling past events, such as educational history, making option B the most appropriate question to assess this aspect of memory in an older adult with mild dementia.

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes mellitus and is receiving insulin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
