An Older Client Diagnosed with Dementia Resides with His Daughter

An older client diagnosed with dementia resides with his daughter. When the homecare nurse visits, the daughter tearfully tells the nurse that her father scratched her hand and cursed at her when she was attempting to feed him. She states, "I don't know why he hates me and wants to hurt me. I try so hard to take good care of him. I love him." How will the nurse respond to the client's daughter?

A) "Let's think about what you may have done to anger your father?"
B) "Let's try to figure out what your father was trying to say with his behavior."
C) "Scratching is usually a sign of untreated pain. Do you think your father is in pain?"
D) "Maybe you should consider having a home health care provider take over responsibility for your father's physical care."
