Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
In mild to moderate dementia, only recent memory is affected and clients may be capable of be-ing reoriented. Helping the client maintain here-and-now focus will foster maximum use of intel-lectual functions. Ignoring, using confrontation, and changing the topic would not be as useful as gently reorienting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Option 3 indicates acceptance of reality and responsibility, but options 1, 2, and 4 are indications of denial.
