Question

1. if a resident with ad shows violent behavior, the na should *

hit back
yell at the resident to distract him
leave the resident alone until he calms down
remove triggers

1. when a resident with ad cannot understand basic instructions, it is good idea to use

a notepad to write out instructions
longer words to catch the residents interest
a very loud voice
short words, pictures, and gestures

1. which of the following would be the best way for an na to respond to inappropriate sexual behavior?

the na should warn other residents that is happening
the na should take the resident to a private area
the na should inform the residents family that the resident is being inappropriate
the na should reprimand the resident to shame him into stopping

Explanation:

1. Hitting back or yelling is inappropriate. Leaving alone may not be the best as triggers should be addressed. Removing triggers is a proactive approach.
2. Residents with AD may have cognitive - impairment, so short words, pictures, and gestures are more effective than long words, loud voices, or written instructions.
3. Taking the resident to a private area helps protect privacy and address the behavior without causing embarrassment in public. Warning others, informing family right away, or reprimanding may not be the most appropriate initial steps.

Answer:

1. remove triggers
2. short words, pictures, and gestures
3. the NA should take the resident to a private area
