A. Limit the number of choices for the client.B. Use written signs to assist the client with locating the bathroom.C. Provide a stimulating environment for the client.D. Use confrontation to manage the client's behavior.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Limiting the number of choices for the client is correct. Clients with Alzheimer's disease can become overwhelmed by too many options. Offering simple choices, such as 'Would you like tea or juice?' instead of an open-ended question, helps reduce confusion and frustration.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: An anaphylactic reaction is correct. Symptoms such as urticaria (hives) and wheezing indicate a severe allergic reaction, which can progress to anaphylaxis.
