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.
