A nurse at a long-term care facility is conducting an initial interview with a patient who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. The patient is grieving the death of her spouse of 30 years. What are some appropriate interventions the nurse might consider? Select all that apply.
1. Ask the patient if she wants to talk about her recent losses.
2. Suggest that the patient might consider joining a grief support group at the facility.
3. Advise the patient that she will soon adjust to her new circumstances and feel much better.
4. Ignore the patient's losses since she probably doesn't remember them and it is better not to remind her.
5. Ask the patient if there are any ways in which the nurse could help the patient be more comfortable in her new surroundings.
