Explanation:

1. Visual cues can aid understanding for those with dementia without causing distress. Going away, doing the task for them, or not completing the task may not help with understanding.
2. Limiting choices reduces over - stimulation. Hurrying them or making the choice for them is not allowing a choice, and presenting too many options like opening a closet can be over - stimulating.
3. A crowded dining room is an environmental factor. The need to toilet, increased arthritic pain, and medication side effects are internal or medical factors.

1. Give them a visual cue
2. Limit the number of options from which they have to choose
