Question

1. you are taking a person with alzheimer’s disease to their healthcare provider for an annual check-up. while waiting, the person makes an inappropriate sexual comment to the person next to them. what is the best action to take?

• yell at the person for their behavior
• redirect the person to their favorite book
• ignore the persons behavior
• leave the healthcare provider’s office

Explanation:

For a person with Alzheimer’s disease, inappropriate behavior often stems from cognitive impairment. Yelling is inappropriate (harsh, may agitate), ignoring doesn’t address or redirect, and leaving is not practical. Redirecting to a favorite book is a calm, distraction - based approach that can shift their focus positively.

Answer:

B. Redirect the person to their favorite book
