Response
Question 6
Brief Explanations
- For "Keeping the door to the bathroom closed", people with Alzheimer’s may feel confused or trapped, so this is not helpful.
- "Limiting daily fluid intake" is unhealthy and not a proper toileting tip.
- "Providing easy - to - remove clothing" helps the person with Alzheimer’s during toileting as it reduces difficulty and frustration.
- "Standing over them while toileting" can make them feel uncomfortable or pressured.
Brief Explanations
- "External" triggers come from outside the person, like noise or temperature.
- "Environmental" is a type of external trigger related to the surroundings, but here the trigger is from the person's own body.
- "Caregiver" would be a trigger related to the caregiver's actions, but here the kick is due to the person's own physical discomfort.
- "Internal" triggers come from within the person, like pain, hunger, or discomfort. The large red area on the heel suggests pain or discomfort (internal) that caused the kick.
Brief Explanations
- "Use only verbal communication techniques" is insufficient as non - verbal cues and actions also matter.
- "Ignore the behavior" can make it worse.
- "Identify triggers and respond appropriately" is the best as understanding why the behavior occurs (triggers) and responding in a way that meets the person's needs (like adjusting care, providing comfort) is key.
- "Punish the behavior" is unethical and ineffective.
