Mental health and dementiaQuestion 1571 of 1700

Why do residents with dementia often need constant oversight?

  1. They cannot walk and need a wheelchair for all trips
  2. They sleep most of the day and cannot wake up
  3. They move well but are not aware of danger
  4. They refuse every kind of help from staff
Show answer

Correct answer: They move well but are not aware of danger

Good mobility with poor safety awareness is a risk, so the resident needs constant oversight.
