Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Failure to recognize familiar objects. In Alzheimer's disease, individuals often experience difficulties with memory and cognitive function, leading to the inability to recognize familiar objects or people. This is due to the progressive deterioration of brain cells affecting memory and perception. Altered level of consciousness (
A) is not a typical finding in Alzheimer's disease unless there is a medical complication. Excessive motor activity (
C) is not commonly associated with Alzheimer's, as individuals often exhibit decreased motor skills. Rapid mood swings (
D) may occur in some cases, but failure to recognize familiar objects is a more characteristic finding.
