Home › CNA Practice Tests › Psychosocial Care Skills Questions › Question 31
Looking at family photos with a resident who has dementia often helps because it can:
- A.Test whether the resident can name every person correctly today
- B.Prove to the family that the resident's memory is getting better
- C.Support reminiscing about familiar people and long-ago memories that may still be clear
- D.Replace the need for any other daily activities or conversation
Correct answer
C. Support reminiscing about familiar people and long-ago memories that may still be clear
Why
Reminiscence uses preserved long-term memories and familiar images to promote comfort and connection. Using photos as a memory test or quiz can frustrate the resident.
