Explanation:

Question 6

To promote independence during bathing, asking the person to gather their own supplies empowers them to do a task on their own. Asking family to help (first option) doesn't promote the person's independence. Not offering help (second option) can be unsafe. Suggesting to wash their face (fourth option) is a specific task, not promoting overall independence in the bathing process.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are basic self - care tasks. Toileting is a basic ADL. Cooking (first option) and cleaning (second option) can be considered Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) or not core ADLs. Managing money (fourth option) is an IADL, not an ADL.

For a person with Alzheimer's during toileting, providing easy - to - remove clothing helps them be more independent and makes the process easier. Keeping the bathroom door closed (second option) can be disorienting. Reducing liquid intake (third option) is not a good practice for toileting. Standing over the person (fourth option) can be intimidating and not promote dignity/independence.

Answer:

C. Ask the person to gather their own supplies
