The patient care technician takes a confused client to the bathroom every night at 9:00 PM prior to helping him to bed for the night. This is an example of:
  1. Bladder and bowel training.
  2. Encouraging client participation.
  3. Establishing a consistent routine.
  4. Providing orientation cues.
Explanation

Answer: C - Taking a client to the bathroom at the same time every day is an example of establishing a consistent routine. A confused client may not recognize people or know the time or where he is. Some people gradually lose the ability to perform daily activities. To establish a sense of order, follow the client's routine. Meals, bathing, exercises, TV, and other activities should have a schedule.
