Accepted Answer

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
- For "Keeping the door to the bathroom closed", people with Alzheimer’s may feel confused or trapped, so this is not helpful.
- "Limiting daily fluid intake" is unhealthy and not a proper toileting tip.
- "Providing easy - to - remove clothing" helps the person with Alzheimer’s during toileting as it reduces difficulty and frustration.
- "Standing over them while toileting" can make them feel uncomfortable or pressured.
# Answer: C. Providing easy - to - remove clothing

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
- "External" triggers come from outside the person, like noise or temperature.
- "Environmental" is a type of external trigger related to the surroundings, but here the trigger is from the person's own body.
- "Caregiver" would be a trigger related to the caregiver's actions, but here the kick is due to the person's own physical discomfort.
- "Internal" triggers come from within the person, like pain, hunger, or discomfort. The large red area on the heel suggests pain or discomfort (internal) that caused the kick.
# Answer: D. Internal

### Question 8 (assuming the options are as follows, since the original image cuts off, but a common best strategy for addressing behaviors in Alzheimer’s care is to identify triggers and use a combination of approaches, not just verbal. For example, a common correct option could be something like "Identify triggers and use a combination of non - verbal and verbal approaches" but since the options are cut, if we assume a common set: If one of the options is "Identify triggers and use a person - centered approach" or similar, but based on typical questions, the best strategy is to understand triggers and use appropriate, individualized methods. However, since the options are not fully shown, if we assume the options are like:
Option A: Use only verbal communication techniques
Option B: Ignore the behavior
Option C: Identify triggers and respond appropriately
Option D: Punish the behavior

Then:
# Brief Explanations:
- "Use only verbal communication techniques" is insufficient as non - verbal cues and actions also matter.
- "Ignore the behavior" can make it worse.
- "Identify triggers and respond appropriately" is the best as understanding why the behavior occurs (triggers) and responding in a way that meets the person's needs (like adjusting care, providing comfort) is key.
- "Punish the behavior" is unethical and ineffective.
# Answer: C. Identify triggers and respond appropriately (assuming this is an option)
