Explanation:

Question 9

In late - stage Alzheimer's, patients have cognitive impairments and struggle with open - ended or complex choices. The question "Do you want to wear the yellow dress or the blue dress?" offers a simple, binary choice which is easier for them to process compared to open - ended questions like "What dress do you want to wear today?" or "What do you want to wear today?" and the suggestive "How about wearing this beautiful yellow dress today?".

Caregivers communicating with Alzheimer's patients should use clear and slow speech. Avoiding eye contact (wrong, as eye contact can help in communication), using a high - pitched voice (not appropriate), and approaching from behind (can startle the patient) are incorrect. Speaking clearly and slowly helps the patient understand.

C. Do you want to wear the yellow dress or the blue dress?
