Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1:Take any OTC medication needed is incorrect because the client should check with his or her healthcare provider prior to taking any OTC medication.
Rationale 2:Report any changes in urine color immediately is incorrect because this is a normal side effect of dopamine-like drugs.
Rationale 3:Medications used to treat dementia can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These can lead to lightheadedness, dizziness, and a fall risk.
Rationale 4:Never take with high-fat foods is incorrect because food intake does not apply.

Global Rationale: Dementia is a degenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss, confusion, and inability to think or communicate effectively. Clients can become dehydrated from the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea from the drugs used to treat dementia, leading to a fall risk.
