Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching the family of a client who has Alzheimer's disease about caring for the client at home. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Rationale: A monthly calendar helps orient the client to time, reducing confusion in Alzheimer's disease. Covering outlets with tape poses a fire hazard, a dark bedroom increases fall risk, and while a large-face clock may help, a calendar is more effective for orientation.
