1. true or false: your approach when caring for those with alzheimers disease will differ from person to person.

true
false

Explanation:

1. A structured environment for dementia patients helps in reducing challenging behaviors. Decreased participation, quality of life, and control are negative aspects and not benefits.
2. Placing clothing for the current season in the closet helps in basic activities as it simplifies the choice. Loud patterns can be over - stimulating, just telling to brush teeth may not be enough without cues, and laying out clothes for the whole week may be overwhelming.
3. Person - centered care focuses on the individual rather than the disease. Staff - oriented, family - centered, and facility - centered care have different focuses.
4. Alzheimer's affects each person differently in terms of symptoms, progression, and needs. So, the care approach should be individualized.
