The family of an older patient with Alzheimer's disease does not want to discuss long-term care placement for at least a few years. How should the nurse respond to the family?
 
  1. Long-term care placement is inevitable with this diagnosis.
  2. It often takes a year for an individual with Alzheimer's disease to be admitted.

  4. By providing this information now, we will not need to address these concerns later.
