Keeping a resident's glasses clean and hearing aids in place is important in dementia care because it can:
- A.Cure the dementia if done on a strict schedule
- B.Replace the need for staff to communicate slowly and clearly
- C.Make sundowning impossible to occur in the evening
- D.Reduce confusion by helping the resident see and hear more clearly
Correct answer
D. Reduce confusion by helping the resident see and hear more clearly
Why
Sensory aids improve input, so the resident has a better chance to understand surroundings and speech. They do not cure dementia or remove the need for clear communication.
