1. sam has late stage dementia. what common late stage risk should staff be most concerned about?

risk for pressure injuries
risk for sleep disturbances
risk for losing track of time
risk for losing the ability to talk

Explanation:

• Question 9: Working as a night - shift security guard for 30 years means Glenn has a long - term disrupted circadian rhythm. So, it is reasonable to expect that he may have his days and nights mixed up. Wandering is more related to cognitive disorientation in dementia patients in general rather than specifically due to night - shift work. Not liking to talk to people is a personality trait that is not directly related to his night - shift work history. Wanting to wear his uniform is a more specific and less likely general challenge compared to the circadian rhythm issue.
• Question 10: In late - stage dementia, patients are often bedridden or have very limited mobility. This lack of movement makes them highly prone to pressure injuries (bedsores) as pressure on certain body areas is not relieved. Sleep disturbances, losing track of time, and losing the ability to talk are also issues in dementia, but pressure injuries are a more immediate and common physical risk in the late stage due to the patient's immobility.

Answer:

• Question 9: Glenn has his days and nights mixed up.
• Question 10: Risk for pressure injuries.
