The nurse is taking a patient who has Alzheimer’s disease to the bathing room for a tub bath. The patient states, “Please don’t make me take a bath today, I am so afraid that I will be washed down the drain.” The nurse’s best response would be:
1.   “Don’t be silly, there’s no way you would fit in the drain.”
2.   “I am your nurse, and I will stay with you, so you shouldn’t be afraid of your bath.”
3.   “Let’s go back to your room and I will bathe you there.”
4.   “Today is your day for a bath.”


This is for my medical nursing class
