A nurse is reinforcing teaching for a client who has a new ascending colostomy. Which of the following comments by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

In this scenario, the nurse should take the action of obtaining the child's dietary history first. By gathering information about the toddler's current dietary intake, the nurse can assess the specific problems and challenges the child may be facing. This information will be crucial in developing an appropriate plan of care to address poor dietary intake.

Once the nurse has a clear understanding of the child's dietary habits, they can then proceed with other actions such as encouraging the family to be present during mealtimes, offering nutritious snacks, and providing instructions on praising the child when they eat. However, obtaining the dietary history will provide essential information for the nurse to make informed decisions and interventions.

Creating a stimulating environment helps engage the client and can reduce restlessness and agitation. This can include activities, social interactions, and sensory stimulation tailored to the individual's preferences.
Clients with Alzheimer's disease may become overwhelmed and have difficulty making decisions when presented with too many options. By limiting choices, caregivers can help reduce confusion and frustration for the client.
Clients with Alzheimer's disease may experience memory impairment and difficulty with orientation. Using written signs can help them navigate their surroundings and locate essential areas, such as the bathroom. Clear and simple signs can be helpful for maintaining independence and minimizing confusion.
Confrontation, which involves challenging or arguing with the client, can escalate agitation and distress. Instead, caregivers should use techniques such as redirection, validation, and providing a calm and supportive environment to manage challenging behaviors associated with Alzheimer's disease.
