Engaging in life review can help the client with dementia remember important life events and enhance their sense of self-worth, which supports their emotional well-being. Watching television and providing reading materials may not be helpful as the client may not remember what they watched or read. Playing board games may also not be helpful as the client's cognitive abilities may be too impaired to engage in strategic play.
