1. what type of care looks at the person instead of their disease?

staff - oriented care
person - centered care
family - centered care
facility - centered care

Explanation:

1. Natural sunlight can have a positive impact on a person with dementia, such as regulating their circadian rhythm. Throw rugs can cause tripping hazards, mirrors can confuse them (seeing reflections as other people), and loud music can be over - stimulating.
2. One - on - one conversation is less overwhelming for a person with dementia compared to multiple topics or questions. Correcting them can lead to distress.
3. Arguing with a person with Alzheimer's (a type of dementia) about the day is unproductive. Ignoring them is not appropriate, and asking for medication without cause is also not right. Taking them to the dining room and playing music can provide a soothing experience similar to their regular therapy.
4. Cognitive impairment of the person can lead to incorrect use of assistive devices, causing injury. Appropriate fit, regular maintenance, and adequate training are more likely to prevent injury.
5. Person - centered care focuses on the individual's needs, preferences, and identity rather than just their disease. Staff - oriented, family - centered, and facility - centered care have different focuses.
