Answer to Question 2
Ans: B
Feedback:
Rivastigmine patches are changed on a daily basis and rotated to a clean, dry, and hairless area. Because the patient is experiencing dementia, the site for application should be where the patient is not able to pick at or remove the patch. The upper or lower portions of the back are recommended for patch administration. Because the same site should not be used more than once every 2 weeks, the caregiver should be instructed to make a chart of the back and indicate where patches have been applied during the last 14 days.
