A nurse in a health clinic is assisting in the planning of an educational program on skin cancer. Which of the following statements should be included in the presentation?

Choice A reason: Keeping the television on at all times can contribute to overstimulation and confusion for clients with Alzheimer's disease. It is better to have the television on at specific times and choose calming, familiar programs.

Choice B reason: Hanging abstract pictures on the walls can be confusing and disorienting for clients with Alzheimer's disease. Simple, familiar images or family photographs are more helpful in creating a comforting environment.

Choice C reason: The correct answer is c because keeping familiar personal items in the client's room can provide a sense of security and comfort. Familiar objects can help reduce confusion and anxiety in clients with Alzheimer's disease.

Choice D reason: While adequate lighting is important, bright lighting can sometimes cause discomfort or glare. It is better to have soft, consistent lighting that helps the client feel safe and oriented without causing overstimulation.

Choice A reason: The correct answer is a because auscultating the lung fields allows the nurse to determine the areas of congestion and plan the most effective positioning and techniques for chest percussion, vibration, and postural drainage.

Choice B reason: Providing mouth care is important for client comfort but is not the first step in preparing for chest physiotherapy.

Choice C reason: Cupping hands and tapping on the client’s chest repeatedly is part of the chest percussion technique but should be done after assessing the lung fields to target the appropriate areas.

Choice D reason: Positioning the client so that the lung area to be drained is above the trachea is part of postural drainage but should be planned based on the findings from auscultation.
