Question

Explain why the client has certain emotions. b. Become more introspective and self-focused. c. Practice life review or reminiscence. d. Look backward with regret for undone tasks

Answer 1

c. Practice life review or reminiscence

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse is trying to be kind with the older adult and encourages him/her to establish a friendly conversation. Normally, older adults like to talk about their past lives and usually they do it with joy.

Remembering past events of their lives also helps older adults to avoid memory failures.
