Working with clients who have dementia and/or behaviours of concern can be challenging and stressful at times. Read the following scenario and answer the questions.

Sam's only hobby was gardening, and his son and daughter encourage him to potter around, digging up soil in the veggie patch and pulling up weeds. He has to be shown which are the weeds and will repeatedly ask if he is doing the right thing. Sam's wife recently started to take him to the local daycare centre, so she can have some respite time.

On this day he was given some cane to weave baskets. He refuses and becomes abusive and tries to leave the centre. The activity worker tries to pacify him by holding onto his arm and saying that he has to stay and do the activity. Sam becomes upset and continues to walk down the corridor muttering, "I can't find it" and he wets his trousers.
