Question

1. which is the most appropriate way to communicate with persons with dementia? call the person \honey\ so they feel secure. talk to the family instead of the individual. use positive terms instead of negative terms. quiz them about activities they did that day. 5. which is a symptom present in the middle stage of dementia? difficulty getting dressed difficulty handling finances difficulty with only long - term memory difficulty with swallowing

Explanation:

For question 4: Using positive terms instead of negative terms is a good communication practice as it can have a better impact on the person with dementia. Calling them a generic term like "honey" may not be appropriate as they might have their own identity. Talking to the family instead of the individual ignores the person with dementia. Quizzing them about activities can be stressful.
For question 5: In the middle stage of dementia, difficulty getting dressed is a common symptom. Difficulty handling finances is more in the early - middle stage. Difficulty with only long - term memory is not typical (usually both short - and long - term are affected). Difficulty with swallowing is more in the late stage.

Answer:

1. Use positive terms instead of negative terms.
2. Difficulty getting dressed.
