Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Individuals who are starting to experience language deficits may be able to slow this decline by working with a speech therapist. Physical therapy can help individuals improve their muscle tone, maintain coordination, and maintain their range of motion. Occupational therapy helps the client maintain the ability to perform many activities of daily living. Access to community organizations is facilitated through the use of social workers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Although placement in a long-term care facility is not going to be the fate of all individuals with Alzheimer disease, it is a common one. Providing the information early in the disease process allows the family to make an informed choice. Nurses will need to provide reinforced education and referrals throughout the disease process, not just during the initial hospitalization. There is no plan to transfer the client at this time; adjustment would occur after the transfer.
