A nurse is educating the partner of a client recently diagnosed with moderate-stage AD about effective caregiving strategies. Which teaching point best supports managing the client's cognitive decline at home?
Challenge and correct the client’s delusional thoughts to encourage orientation to reality.
Establish a consistent daily routine and use short, simple instructions for tasks.
Encourage activities that challenge memory and problem-solving skills throughout the day.
Increase exposure to varied and stimulating environments to promote cognitive engagement.
The correct answer focuses on establishing a consistent daily routine and using short, simple instructions, which align with evidence-based practices for managing moderate-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). These strategies help minimize confusion and anxiety by creating predictability and simplifying communication. Incorrect answers either contradict recommended practices or overlook the client's needs. For example, challenging delusions can increase the client’s distress and confusion, while overstimulation or unstructured activities may exacerbate cognitive difficulties and cause agitation.
