Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should remind the client to chew and swallow because clients with dementia often forget to eat and drink. The use of forks and knives should be avoided in clients with dementia, because they may be dangerous. The variety of foods provided at the table should be limited to prevent confusion. The clients should be placed near people they could mimic during meals, not encouraged to sit alone for meals.
