1. you are caring for a person with dementia. they always take their shower in the morning, but you change it to the afternoon. how may the person respond to this change in their routine?

excitement
anxiety
joy
happiness

Explanation:

• Question 6: Staff training helps employees understand safety protocols. Discouraging hazard reporting, ignoring the environment, and encouraging overtime are counter - productive to safety.
• Question 7: A structured environment reduces confusion and stress, which can lead to decreased challenging behaviors. Decreased participation, quality of life, and control are negative outcomes.
• Question 8: The MedicAlert program is for people with medical conditions that need immediate attention. Dementia (a neurological condition with potential wandering and medical needs) benefits more than diabetes (manageable with regular care), arthritis (joint condition), or high blood pressure (manageable with medication).
• Question 9: Wandering (especially in dementia patients) can lead to falls (e.g., tripping over objects). Memory loss and cognitive impairment are causes of wandering, not risks. Constipation is unrelated.
• Question 10: People with dementia often rely on routines. Changing a routine (like shower time) can cause anxiety due to loss of predictability. Excitement, joy, and happiness are less likely responses.
