Explanation:

1. Telling a resident having hallucinations that what they see isn't real can be distressing. Pretending to see the hallucination is unethical. Laughing is inappropriate. Reassuring an upset and worried resident is a kind - approach.
2. Adding caffeine can worsen sun - downing. Restricting exercise is not helpful. Scheduling activities during sundowning time may not be effective. Setting a bedtime routine and sticking to it can help regulate the resident's internal clock.
3. Ignoring or silencing a perseverating resident is unkind. Using a thesaurus is not relevant. Answering questions each time shows patience and care.
4. Hitting back is unacceptable. The best approach is to de - escalate the situation.

Answer:

1. reassure a resident who is upset and worried
