Explaining to the person with AD that there are no cats in the nursing center is not helpful because they are experiencing a hallucination, which is a sensory experience that feels real to them. Trying to convince them otherwise may only increase their confusion and anxiety. The other options (A, B, and C) are strategies that can help reduce agitation and confusion in individuals with dementia.
