A client with Alzheimer's disease exhibiting confabulation.
Question 1 of 5
During a client interview, the nurse notices that the client often fills in information with made-up stories. Which stage of Alzheimer's disease will the nurse see this behavior?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Early stage. In the early stage of Alzheimer's disease, individuals may exhibit confabulation, which is the tendency to fill in memory gaps with false information or made-up stories. This behavior is a result of memory loss and confusion. In Stage 1, individuals typically do not exhibit significant memory problems yet. Stages 2 and 3 involve more pronounced cognitive decline beyond just confabulation.
Therefore, the behavior of filling in information with made-up stories aligns most closely with the early stage of Alzheimer's disease.
