Question

final exam - attempt 1/12
exam is not timed leave exam
question 13 out of 16:
picking up a toothbrush and showing the action of brushing teeth is:
confusing to clients living with moderate dementia.
not as good as simply saying, “brush your teeth.”
a good strategy for communicating with clients living with moderate dementia.
only appropriate with clients who can no longer speak.

Explanation:

For clients with moderate dementia, non - verbal cues like demonstrating brushing teeth with a toothbrush can be more effective than verbal instructions as their ability to process verbal information may be impaired. The first option is incorrect as such demonstrations are helpful. The second option is wrong because showing the action is often better than just verbalizing. The fourth option is incorrect as it's not limited to non - speaking clients. So the correct option is the one stating it's a good strategy.

Answer:

C. A good strategy for communicating with clients living with moderate dementia.
