Question

Emily Bartus · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Daily exercise and cognitive stimulation have been shown to have the greatest benefit for reducing symptoms in the prodromal period or early stages of dementia, as they can help to slow down cognitive decline and improve overall brain functioning. Pharmaceutical treatments may be used in later stages of dementia, but are less effective in early stages. Transitioning to a full-care facility or surgical procedures are not appropriate treatments for early stages of dementia.
