The dementia unit nursing staff are informed that the entire unit will be redecorated in the next two weeks. Nursing staff tell the nurse manager that this will be a problem for the clients.
 
  What particular client need is addressed by their concern? 1. A stable environment
  2. Client comfort
  3. Scheduling of admissions
  4. Client safety

Question 2

A client has compulsive cleaning behaviors, scrubbing areas throughout the house over and over, especially areas where the family gathers. It is most important for the nurse to assess:
 
  1. For vomiting during cleaning.
  2. The impact of symptoms on the family system.
  3. How frequently the client cleans the house.
  4. For forgetfulness.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Clients with a diagnosis of dementia need a stable environment to promote optimal orientation. Client safety, scheduling of admissions, and client comfort may or may not be impacted by the redecoration efforts.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: OCD impacts the family system especially with impaired role function. How frequently the client cleans the house and vomiting during cleaning may be important to assess, but they are not the most important. Forgetfulness is not a component of OCD.
