1. what are two common behaviors caused by alzheimers disease (ad)?

Explanation:

1. Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects cognitive functions, including planning and performing tasks. Watching a movie, enjoying sitting in the sun, and staying clean (even with assistance) are not the primary difficulties.
2. In the late stage of AD, the hand - over - hand technique is appropriate as the person has significant functional decline. Helping with planning (more for early - stage), encouraging vigorous activities (not suitable for late - stage frailty), and planning complex activities like cooking (too advanced for late - stage) are incorrect.
3. AD is characterized by plaques (amyloid plaques) that block signals between brain cells. Decreased blood flow to the lungs, muscle weakness, and increased stomach acid production are not direct effects of AD.
4. Memory loss that disrupts daily life is a hallmark symptom of AD. Difficulty with driving can be a later symptom but not as common and defining as memory loss. Inability to taste and eye - color change are not associated with AD.
5. Agitation and repetition (such as repeating questions or actions) are common behaviors in AD. Organization and construction, caution and connection, affection and imagination are not typical AD - related behaviors.

Answer:

1. Planning and performing a task
2. Use a hand - over - hand technique when performing tasks
3. Plaques that block signals between brain cells
4. Memory loss that disrupts daily life
5. Agitation and repetition
