Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has dementia. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using an overhead loudspeaker can be disorienting or frightening for clients with dementia due to their sensitivity to loud noises and potential for confusion. A written schedule may not be helpful if the client has difficulty reading or understanding due to cognitive decline, which is common in dementia. While allowing choices is generally good, it can be overwhelming for someone with dementia depending on their cognitive ability, potentially leading to frustration or anxiety. A consistent daily routine helps provide structure and predictability, which can reduce confusion and anxiety in clients with dementia by creating a stable environment they can rely on.

Question 3 of 5
A client with Alzheimer's disease has difficulty with bathing and dressing activities. This is an example of which type of loss?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Physical loss involves losing a body part or function, not the ability to perform tasks. Functional loss is the reduced ability to perform daily activities like bathing and dressing, common in Alzheimer’s due to cognitive and motor decline. Affective loss is emotional, and conative loss relates to motivation, neither fitting this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
An elderly client with severe cardiovascular disease is given the diagnosis of dementia. Which type of dementia does the client most likely have?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Frontal (frontotemporal) dementia affects personality and behavior, not directly tied to cardiovascular issues. Lewy body dementia involves protein deposits and symptoms like hallucinations, not primarily cardiovascular-related. Alzheimer’s is common but linked to neurodegenerative changes, not specifically cardiovascular disease. Vascular dementia results from impaired blood flow to the brain, often due to cardiovascular conditions, making it the most likely here.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who was admitted with delirium five days ago. The client seeks permission from the nurse before performing ADLs. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Quizzing assesses but isn’t first. Independence is good but needs assessment first. Discharge is premature without evaluation. Determining awareness guides support, fitting delirium’s fluctuating nature.
