age."

Feedback
A Toddlers should be encouraged to do what they can for themselves.
B Toddlers participate in parallel play. They play next to rather than with age
mates.
C Excessive stress on the differences between right and wrong can stifle autonomy
in the toddler and foster shame and doubt.
D The toddler's developmental task is to achieve autonomy. Encouraging toddlers
to do things for themselves assists with this developmental task (i.e. feeding self,
putting on own socks.)

A 64-year-old patient is worried about having dementia. The patient tells the nurse that it is taking her longer to solve problems, multi-tasking is becoming more difficult, and she sometimes has difficulty remembering what to get at the grocery store
Which is the appropriate response by the nurse? Select all that apply. 1. "The ability to multitask might decline with age, but this is not an indication of dementia." 2. "Many people have episodic memory problems as they age. These do not indicate serious cognitive dysfunction." 3. "If it is taking you longer to solve problems than it used to, you may need to be assessed for other signs of dementia." 4. "Forgetting what you wanted to get at the store is a matter of concern. I think you should have a cognitive evaluation." 5. "A decline in mental processing speed is a normal part of aging, so taking longer with problem solving is not unusual as we get older."
