Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the disease progresses,the client experiences changes in emotional and behavioral affect.The nurse should be alert to the client's reaction to a change in environment,such as being hospitalized,because the client may exhibit an exaggerated response,such as aggression,to the event.The other assessments should be completed but are not as important for a client with Alzheimer's disease.
