Question

1. why is it important to know the persons life story when caring for someone living with dementia?

to have topics for conversation
to provide person-centered care
to diagnose their condition
to reduce staff workload

1. what should you do if a person living with dementia uses a nonsensical sentence?

correct their grammar.
ignore the sentence.
try to understand the meaning behind it.
ask them to repeat it.

Explanation:

For question 9: Person - centered care focuses on the individual's unique experiences (like their life story) to tailor care. Having conversation topics is a secondary aspect. Caregivers don't diagnose (that's a medical professional's role), and knowing the life story doesn't reduce staff workload.
For question 10: Correcting grammar or ignoring the sentence can be disrespectful. Asking to repeat might not be helpful as the person may not be able to. Trying to understand the meaning behind it respects their communication attempt.

Answer:

1. B. To provide person - centered care
2. C. Try to understand the meaning behind it.
