[Answered]: Mrs. P., a client with severe dementia is walking up

Mrs. P., a client with severe dementia is walking up and down the hallway of her care facility, becoming increasingly agitated as she looks in every doorway. She tells the nurse she is looking for her husband as she needs to talk to him. The nurse knows that the client’s husband died two years earlier. What would be the most appropriate action for the nurse to take? Question 37 options: “Why don’t you come with me instead? It’s time for lunch hon.” “What would you like to talk to your husband about if he were here?” “I could call your daughter. Maybe she could visit this afternoon?” “Mrs. P., I’m sorry to say your husband passed two years ago.”
