Question

assisting the patient in dressing
rearranging the patients furniture
talking about the weather
encouraging the patient to talk

to provide direct patient care, a healthcare employee needs a *
bachelors degree in healthcare
valid state drivers license
complete physical examination
clear background check

Explanation:

For the first question:

• Dementia patients often rely on familiar surroundings for orientation. Rearranging furniture can cause confusion and disorientation. Assisting in dressing helps with daily living, talking about weather is a simple interaction, and encouraging talk can be beneficial for communication.

For the second question:

• A clear background check is essential for patient safety as it ensures the healthcare employee has no criminal history that could pose a risk. A bachelor's degree may not always be required for all direct patient - care roles (e.g., some nursing assistants). A driver's license is not relevant to direct patient care. A physical examination is important but a background check is more directly related to being allowed to provide care.

Answer:

1. rearranging the patient's furniture
2. clear background check
