Study Tips for Communication

  1. Open-ended questions ("Tell me how you're feeling") encourage clients to express themselves.
  2. Never give false reassurance ("Everything will be fine") — it damages trust.
  3. Always report changes in client condition promptly — when in doubt, report.
  4. Communicate with dementia clients using short sentences, calm tone, and simple words.
