Question 4

Person - centered care is an approach in healthcare that emphasizes the individual's needs, preferences, and well - being rather than just focusing on the medical condition (the disease). So the statement "Person - centered care focuses on the person, not the disease" is true.

• Option "Avoid treating the person with respect": Treating with respect is a fundamental part of caregiving, especially for those with dementia. Avoiding respect is incorrect.
• Option "Be flexible, patient, and creative": Dementia - related behaviors can be unpredictable. Caregivers need to adapt (be flexible), have patience as the person may take time to respond or act, and be creative in finding ways to engage or calm the person. This is a correct approach.
• Option "Discourage physical activity": Physical activity is beneficial for people with dementia as it can improve mood, physical health, etc. Discouraging it is wrong.
• Option "Avoid normal sleep patterns": Maintaining normal sleep patterns is important for the well - being of a person with dementia. Avoiding them is incorrect.

True
