A nurse is describing the three stages
of Alzheimer's disease to a family. The
nurse knows that the family
understands the stages when they
make what statement?
"Grandma is in the preclinical stage, so no
matter what we do she will always be very confused
and unable to live by herself."
O "Grandma is in the mild cognitive impairment
(MCI) stage, so we will give her medications to slow
her progression of dementia."
"Grandma is in the dementia due to AD stage,
which means she might get better if she slows down
and takes all of her medications."
O "Grandma is in the mild cognitive impairment
stage, and will get better if we give her medications
and time."
