GERI HESI EXAM




GERI HESI EXAM


1. Scheduling Strategies for Elder Clients: correct answer The way the day of


a cognitively impaired patient is structured is crucial in the plan of care. The nurse


should do the following:



• Develop a schedule that provides structure to the day because patients adapt


better when they have a predictable routine. • Focus on patient-centered activities.


• Develop singular activities because multiple activities overwhelm the patient.


For example, turn off the television while the patient is putting together a puzzle. •


Provide a group experience with one subject approached at a time. Too much


stimulation increases anxiety and may lead to agitation.
