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

  1. Encourage frequent choices in activities

  2. Toilet every 2 hours

  3. Limit social interactions

  4. Discourage self-care activities

The correct answer is: Toilet every 2 hours

For a client with Alzheimer's disease, including a routine for toileting every two hours is important for several reasons. It helps maintain their physical comfort and hygiene, which can be impacted by cognitive decline. Regular toileting can prevent accidents, promote dignity, and reduce anxiety that may arise from incontinence. While promoting independence and choice is also valuable in care for individuals with Alzheimer’s, routine and structure often provide greater security for them. Limiting social interactions and discouraging self-care activities can lead to feelings of isolation and decrease the individual's ability to maintain autonomy. Therefore, proactive interventions, such as scheduling regular toileting, are aligned with the needs and challenges faced by those living with this condition.
