Explanation:

Question 1

For communicating with a dementia patient during daily activities, a clear, calm voice is effective. Avoiding eye contact, approaching from behind, or providing distractions are inappropriate.

In the problem - solving approach related to care (e.g., in dementia care problem - solving), "B" often represents "Behavior" as it relates to analyzing the patient's behavior. Body language, bearing, and belief are not the typical meaning of "B" in this context.

For early - stage Alzheimer's patients, giving verbal cues (like for washing hair) helps them maintain independence. Rushing, doing the task for them, or focusing only on senses are not the best. Verbal cues guide them in daily tasks.

Answer:

A. Speak in a clear, calm voice
