Question

question 5 out of 16: when communicating with a client living with mild dementia, you should: ask more than one question at a time. assume you know what the client is going to say and finish the client’s sentences. turn on the television or radio. eliminate distractions and speak directly to the client.

Explanation:

For clients with mild dementia, effective communication involves reducing distractions to help them focus and addressing them directly. Asking multiple questions at once (first option) can overwhelm them. Assuming to finish their sentences (second option) is disrespectful and ignores their ability to communicate. Turning on TV/radio (third option) creates distractions. Eliminating distractions and speaking directly (fourth option) is best practice.

Answer:

D. Eliminate distractions and speak directly to the client.
