Free NCLEX RN Questions on Health Promotion and Maintenance Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is developing a plan of care for an older client diagnosed with dementia. The nurse develops which realistic outcome for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: All clients, regardless of age, need to be encouraged to perform at the highest level of independence possible. This contributes to the client's sense of control and well-being. Being admitted to a nursing home and having nursing staff perform all activities of daily living are not client-centered goals, and a 1- to 1½-hour time frame may not be realistic for an older client with dementia.
