1. what is an approach staff can use with those who have dementia?

Explanation:

1. Wandering can lead to falls as individuals may lose their balance or trip on obstacles. Memory loss and cognitive impairment are causes of wandering rather than risks directly associated with it. Constipation is not related to wandering.
2. Arguing with a person with Alzheimer's can increase agitation. Asking for medication is an extreme first - step. Ignoring is unkind. Taking them to the dining room and playing music can soothe and reduce distress.
3. People with dementia often rely on routines. Changing a routine like shower time can cause anxiety as it disrupts their sense of normalcy. Excitement, joy, and happiness are unlikely responses to a disrupted routine.
4. Creating a safe and secure environment is crucial for dementia patients to prevent harm. Developing a meal plan is important but not the top - priority. A loud environment can be distressing, and person - centered care should be promoted, not prevented.

Answer:

1. Falls
2. Take the person to the dining room and turn on some music
