Question 1 of 5

Rivastigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, is prescribed for a female client with early stage Alzheimer's disease. The client's daughter tells the nurse that she plans to start administering the drug when her mother's symptoms are no longer manageable, in hopes that her mother will not have to go to a nursing home. How should the nurse respond? How should the nurse respond?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rivastigmine is most effective in early Alzheimer’s, slowing cognitive decline and delaying institutionalization. Explaining the need for early use corrects the daughter’s misconception, optimizing outcomes. Confirming disease progression or assessing mental status does not address the timing error, and affirming delayed use is incorrect.
