The information packet should include .An elderly patient and her son have just learned the patient has dementia. The healthcare facility should provide them with .

Answer

C
a calendar showing when the cast comes off
D
a DVD video to take home about options for families dealing with dementia
E
a map of the brain’s regions
F
an illustration showing the function of the heart

Explanation

The young patient’s take-home packet should include A, a list of ways to care for the cast, because it gives practical instructions for managing the injury at home. For the patient with dementia and her son, D, a DVD about options for families dealing with dementia, provides relevant information they can review together. A calendar or decorations for the cast would not explain how to care for it, and a brain map or heart illustration would not address their immediate needs.
