Question 6

When helping with daily living activities, the goal is to promote independence. Completing tasks for them (wrong, reduces independence), not explaining (wrong, clarity helps), not breaking into steps (wrong, steps aid understanding). "Doing with, not for" empowers the person.

Alzheimer’s often causes wandering due to memory loss/confusion. Domineering, nurturing, caring are not typical Alzheimer’s - related behaviors.

For a person with Alzheimer’s, easy - to - remove clothing eases toileting. Closing the door (may cause anxiety), limiting fluid (unhealthy), standing over (intrusive) are wrong.

Answer:

C. Doing the task with the person, not for the person
