Putting an arm around the client’s waist-c. nursing interventions for the client with alzheimers disease who is angry, frustrated, or hostile include decreasing environmental stimuli, approaching the client calmy and with assurance, not demanding anything from the client, and distracting the client. for the nurse to reach out, touch, hold a hand, put an arm around the waist, or in some way maintain physical contact is important. playing a radio may increase stimuli, and turning the lights out may produce more agitation. the client with alzheimers disease would not be a candidate for group work if the client is agitated.
