The client in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease and his adult son attend an appointment at the community mental health center. While conversing with the nurse, the son states, “I'm tired of hearing about how things were 30 years ago. Why does Dad always talk about the past?” The nurse should tell the son:

1.  “Your dad lost his short-term memory, but he still has his long-term memory.”

2. “You need to be more accepting of your dad's behavior.”

3. “I want you to understand your dad's level of anxiety.”

4. “Telling your dad that you are tired of hearing about the past will help him stop.”
