What intervention should be included in the care plan for a client with moderate Alzheimer disease?

  1. Encourage social engagement

  2. Maintain a daily routine

  3. Introduce new activities regularly

  4. Ignore behavioral changes

The correct answer is: Maintain a daily routine

Maintaining a daily routine is vital for clients with moderate Alzheimer's disease because it provides structure and predictability, which can help lessen confusion and anxiety. Individuals with Alzheimer’s often benefit from having set times for meals, activities, and sleep, as this familiarity can create a sense of security and help them navigate their day more easily. Having a consistent schedule allows caregivers to effectively communicate what to expect, helping to orient the individual throughout their day. This stability is particularly important as cognitive abilities decline, as it reduces the cognitive load needed to make decisions about daily activities. While encouraging social engagement and introducing new activities can be beneficial, they need to be carefully balanced with the need for routine to prevent overstimulation or confusion. Ignoring behavioral changes does not support the individual’s needs and can lead to increased anxiety and distress.
