Answer 1

The scenario c. The CNAs discuss another patient's care while caring for this patient is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. The CNAs discuss another patient's care while caring for this patient.

When caring for a total care elderly patient with dementia, it is important for the CNAs to prioritize the safety and well-being of the patient. In scenario c, where the CNAs discuss another patient's care while caring for this patient, they are not fully focused on the patient at hand, which could lead to potential risks or neglect in providing proper care.

The CNAs should always maintain clear communication, focus, and coordination while working together to ensure the patient's needs are met.
