Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting a client who has dementia to a long-term care facility. The client tells the nurse that she lived in this facility years ago and took care of all the residents by herself. The nurse should document this as which of the following findings?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Confabulation. Confabulation is the creation of false memories or distortion of actual memories without the intention to deceive. In this scenario, the client is not intentionally lying, but rather recalling a memory that did not occur. This is common in individuals with dementia. Projection (
A) involves attributing one's thoughts or feelings to someone else. Perseveration (
B) is the persistent repetition of a response. Agnosia (
C) is the inability to recognize familiar objects or people. In this case, the client's statement aligns most closely with confabulation, making it the correct choice.
