M.C. keeps asking about "Peaches." No one seems to be paying attention. You ask her what
she means. She says Peaches is her little dog, and she's worried about who is taking care of it.
How will you answer?
What will be an ideal response?
• You are aware of the significant role that pets play in the lives of many elderly.
• You tell her you will find out and let her know. You ask M.C.'s daughter to come back to be with
her mother. Tell the daughter she is asking about Peaches. Ask the daughter to talk to her mother
about the anticipated care for her dog. This social support and validation of her concerns can
contribute toward cognitive stabilization.
