1. why is it necessary for you to identify where a person is in their disease process?

so you can help make a diagnosis
so you can provide the appropriate support
so you can decide where the person needs to live
so you can recommend certain medications

Explanation:

1. Providing assistance with walking several times a day is a good mobility - related practice. Keeping a person in a wheelchair all day or preventing self - ambulation can lead to muscle atrophy and other negative effects, and the risk of injury during mobility tasks is not always low.
2. Scolding a person with cognitive impairment for playing with their food is not appropriate as it can cause distress. Finger foods, assistive devices, and playing soothing music are helpful strategies.
3. Identifying where a person is in their disease process helps in providing appropriate support. Making a diagnosis is usually the role of a medical professional, deciding living arrangements and recommending medications are also not the main reasons for identifying the disease stage compared to providing support.

Answer:

1. Provide assistance with walking several times a day
2. Scold the person for playing with their food
3. So you can provide the appropriate support
