Question 4

For an older adult with dementia who wanders, using a restraint is unethical and unsafe. Keeping them in one room restricts freedom and can cause agitation. Providing finger foods is unrelated to wandering. A safe wandering path allows them to move while ensuring safety, which is the best strategy.

The environment (e.g., noise, lighting, unfamiliar spaces) can trigger behaviors like agitation or wandering in individuals with dementia. So the statement is true.

Answer:

Provide a safe wandering path
