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?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rivastigmine is most effective early in Alzheimer’s to manage symptoms and slow progression. Delaying until symptoms worsen reduces efficacy. Assessing mental status or confirming disease progression is secondary to correcting the timing misconception.
