What nursing approach is best when managing the care of a client with dementia who insists on carrying a purse at all times?

ExplanationThe purse may be a symbol of security for the cli-ent. Therefore, it is best to accommodate the client’s idio-syncrasy. Trying to alter the client’s behavior may increase the client’s confusion and lead to aggressive behavior. The client may not have the cognitive ability to offer a reason, choose a storage place, or understand the concept of loss.
