Question

1. mr. morris has alzheimers and has lost 21 pounds this year. he can feed himself but is very slow and panics when other people finish before he does. what intervention would be most effective? take his plate away after the others at the table have finished. encourage him to continue to eat and allow him more time. serve him smaller, energy-dense portions. ask a caregiver to assist him in eating his food faster. 5. which of the following is an intervention to improve nutritional intake for individuals with alzheimers? find out their food preferences. create a noisy environment. provide a strict diet. dim the lighting.

Explanation:

For question 4: Taking the plate away would likely increase panic. Serving smaller portions doesn't address the speed issue. Assisting to eat faster may not be appropriate as he can feed himself. Encouraging and allowing more time respects his ability while reducing panic.
For question 5: Finding food preferences can make meals more appealing. A noisy environment may be distracting. A strict diet may be unappetizing. Dim lighting may not aid in eating.

Answer:

1. Encourage him to continue to eat and allow him more time.
2. Find out their food preferences.
