Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For question 6: Dementia affects cognitive - planning and performing tasks are complex cognitive activities. Watching TV/movie, sitting in sun are passive, and staying clean with assistance is more of a physical - hygiene task.
- For question 7: In the late stage of dementia, cognitive and physical functions severely decline, requiring complete assistance. In early and middle stages, some self - function remains, and dementia is generally not reversible.
- For question 8: Gently shifting attention is a non - confrontational way to prevent potentially harmful behavior. Stopping it directly may cause distress, pointing out another area may not be as effective as shifting attention, and telling not to do something may also lead to confrontation.
Answer:
- Planning and performing a task
- Late stage
- Gently shift the resident's attention onto something else.
