An older adult client with a new diagnosis of dementia.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching the family of an older adult client who has a new diagnosis of dementia. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Dementia is characterized by a progressive and irreversible decline in cognitive function. The nurse should include this statement in the teaching to help the family understand that the symptoms of dementia will worsen over time and cannot be reversed.


Choice A is incorrect because dementia is not characterized by a sudden onset of confusion; it develops gradually.
Choice B is incorrect as while dehydration or high fever can exacerbate symptoms, they do not trigger dementia itself.
Choice C is incorrect as an altered level of consciousness is not a typical symptom of dementia. Overall, choice D is the most appropriate statement to include in the teaching to provide accurate information about dementia to the family.
