Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resident with Alzheimer's disease may not understand the social and cultural norms that dictate sexual behavior. Masturbating in another person's room is not appropriate behavior. It is important to guide the resident back to his room to provide him with privacy while also respecting the privacy of other residents. Telling him to stop or explaining that the behavior is not appropriate may not be effective due to his impaired cognitive abilities. Closing the door to the resident's room would not provide adequate supervision and may increase the risk of falls or other accidents.
