Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In stage 7 of Alzheimer's disease, the client has severe cognitive decline, and interventions to improve cognitive status would not be effective. Social activities and group therapies may not be appropriate or feasible for a client with advanced AD. Facilitating communication may also not be effective as the client's ability to communicate may be severely impaired. Therefore, promoting dignity by providing comfort, safety, and self-care measures should take priority to maintain the client's quality of life.
