Explanation:

Question 6

Productive activities for Alzheimer's patients involve tasks with a purpose, like washing tables (a simple, meaningful chore). Painting, bingo, and swimming are more recreational or physical.

Meaningful activities consider the person’s needs. Structuring the physical environment (e.g., clear spaces, accessible materials) supports engagement. Ignoring preferences, focusing on outcomes/inabilities are counterproductive.

Reminiscing activities (recalling past events) validate personal life stories, boosting self - esteem and communication. They don’t increase negative behaviors, reduce self - esteem, or decrease communication.

Answer:

C. Washing tables
