Explanation:

• For question 24, memory loss, disorientation, language - related issues, poor judgment, task - performing problems, mood and personality changes, and loss of interest are all common early warning signs of dementia. Urinary urgency is not typically an early sign.
• For question 25, problems finishing thoughts, following directions, poor judgment, blaming others, irritability, and problems with everyday tasks are associated with early - stage dementia. An increase in spontaneity is not a common sign.
• For question 26, providing a calm setting, using touch, playing soft music, and having a familiar person for comfort can help calm a person with dementia who screams. Discouraging the use of hearing aids is not a good approach as it may isolate the person.
