Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client who has early-stage Alzheimer's disease. In which of the following actions is the nurse acting as a client advocate?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Requesting a referral for the client to attend reminiscence therapy sessions

Rationale:

🌟Advocating for a client means supporting their rights and ensuring they receive appropriate care aligned with their needs and values.

🌟 Requesting a referral for reminiscence therapy reflects client advocacy because it promotes a nonpharmacological intervention that can enhance the quality of life and cognitive stimulation for clients in early-stage Alzheimer's.

🌟 It also shows the nurse is taking an active role in coordinating services that the client may not be able to request for themselves due to impaired memory or judgment.

🌟 Advocacy includes anticipating client needs and ensuring access to supportive services they may benefit from but cannot seek independently.
