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 unintentional fabrication of memories or events to fill in gaps in memory due to cognitive impairment. In this scenario, the client with dementia is creating false memories of taking care of all the residents by herself, which is a classic example of confabulation. This behavior is not intentional lying but a result of memory deficits.


Choice A: Projection involves attributing one's own unacceptable feelings or thoughts to others, which is not applicable in this context.

Choice B: Perseveration is the repetition of a particular response, such as repeating a word or phrase, which does not align with the client's false memory.

Choice C: Agnosia refers to the inability to recognize familiar objects or people due to brain damage, which is not evident in the client's statement.
