question 8 out of 16:
your client is living with moderate dementia. what is the best way to communicate about meal preferences?
ask, \would you prefer cheddar or american cheese on your sandwich?\
ask, \what do you want for lunch?\
don’t ask the client questions. simply choose a dish and prepare it.
ask, \would you like a cheese sandwich for lunch?\

Explanation:

For a client with moderate dementia, open - ended or overly broad questions (like "What do you want for lunch?") can be confusing. Forcing a dish without asking (option 3) is disrespectful. A yes - no question about a specific option (like "Would you like a cheese sandwich for lunch?") is better than a choice between two items (option 1) as it simplifies the decision - making process for someone with dementia. The question "Would you like a cheese sandwich for lunch?" provides a clear, simple option that is easier for a person with moderate dementia to process and respond to.

Answer:

A. Ask, "Would you prefer cheddar or American cheese on your sandwich?"
B. Ask, "What do you want for lunch?"
C. Don't ask the client questions. Simply choose a dish and prepare it.
D. Ask, "Would you like a cheese sandwich for lunch?"

The correct answer is D. Ask, "Would you like a cheese sandwich for lunch?"
