You are the nurse working triage in the emergency department. This afternoon, a woman brings in her father, KB., who is 74 years old. The daughter reports that over the past year she has noticed her father has progressively had problems with his mental capacity. These changes have developed gradually but seem to be getting worse. At times he is alert and at other times he seems disoriented, depressed, and tearful. He is forgetting things and doing things out of the ordinary, such as placing the milk in the cupboard and sugar in the refrigerator. K. B. reports that he has been having memory problems for the past year and at times has difficulty remembering the names of family members and friends. His neighbor found him down the street 2 days ago, and K. B. did not know where he was. This morning he thought it was nighttime and wondered what his daughter was doing at his house. He could not pour his own coffee, and he seems to be getting more agitated. A review of his past medical history is significant for hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. He had a myocardial infarction 5 years ago. iCB.'s vital signs today are all within normal limits. After review of KB:s history and diagnostic test results, KB. is diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia. The physician calls a family conference to discuss the implications with KB. and his daughter. List at least three interventions you would plan for KB.
