  2. Restrain the client using soft restraints until the client calms down.
  3. Isolate the client in a room until the client is less agitated.
  4. Turn down the volume of the radio.
Explanation
Answer: D - To calm down an agitated client with Alzheimer’s disease, it is most appropriate to decrease environmental stimuli and to approach the client calmly. An agitated client should not be included in a group activity. Using restraints and isolating the client are not considered.
