You must arrange a game for a small group of nursing home patients, all diagnosed with various stages of senile dementia. What game do you select?
  1. Charades
  2. Bingo (with large numbered cards and microphone to call the numbers)
  3. Trivia (with the questions taken from an era when the patients were young adults)
  4. Basketball
Explanation
Answer: C. You would select a trivia game with questions taken from an era when the patients were young adults. Long-term memory usually remains intact when a person has senile dementia, so participants of your group should be able to successfully answer questions about events that occurred when they were young adults.
