A client has been diagnosed with dementia related to chronic and heavy alcohol consumption. In a family meeting with the client, discharge plans are being discussed. Which of the following points should the nurse share with the family and client? Select all that apply.
1. The house and garage need to be searched and all the alcohol products destroyed.
2. Without continued alcohol intake, the client will gradually get better.
3. With the memory loss, answer the client's question once, and then ignore that question when asked again. Safety alarms on the doors will help to keep the client from wandering off.
4. As the need for supervision increases, it may be necessary for the client to be placed in an extended care facility.
