Question

question 10 out of 16:
if a client living with moderate dementia repeatedly asks a question, the best response is to:

continue to answer the
question.

remind the client that you’ve
answered the question already.

reassure the client that
everything is alright, then try to
change to a different topic.

ask a question in return.

Explanation:

For a client with moderate dementia who repeatedly asks a question, reminding them they already got an answer (option B) may cause frustration or confusion. Asking a question in return (option D) might not address their need. Continuing to answer (option A) can reinforce the repetitive behavior. Reassuring them things are alright and changing the topic (option C) is better as it provides comfort and redirects them to reduce the repetition, which is a common approach in dementia care to manage such behaviors while maintaining the client's emotional well - being.

Answer:

C. Reassure the client that everything is alright, then try to change to a different topic.
