I 100% agree with no interrupting. I learned this as child as I have a stepsister who then stuttered. She told me when I interrupted her to try and help it broke her concentration and made her stutter worse. It also hurt her feelings and put pressure on her to get the word quickly as she felt i was annoyed or to busy. I apologized and took that lesson with me for life. If i interrupt someone even to help I apologize and ask them to finish.

My wife has started using nouns that are so generic when she asks questions about "the people" or "the thing" or "the stuff" or pointing in a general direction and asking about that
over there. Asking her to clarify what or whom she is taking about, gets her frustrated and she gets mad or walks away. In a very short while she has forgotten about the incident and
we move on to a new challenge. She is becoming so hard to understand and I try my best to be patient and piece the unrelated words together in her sentences to give her an answer or to
calm her concerns. You can only use diversion tactics so long before she realizes there is no flying saucer. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

I never interupt my mom( she has dementia) but i feel you gave a few different scenarios were the patient might need the caregiver would probably need to elaborate after the patient has answered. Or maybe if the patient can't answer the caregiver can follow-up with a multiple choice question. And when I say multiple choice I mean either or.😊 for example i will ask my mom what do you have a taste for for dinner? If she answers IDK I ask her if she is sure to give her a chance to think of something on her own. If she doesn't know I start with 2 options. Only 2 options at a time so i dont confuse her. Well do you want chicken or fish? With doctors and assessments I let her answer first but i was elaborate. Sometimes I elaborate in private Sometimes in front of her depending on if she is aware of certain things and if her knowing will make things worse for her. With appts and assessments most times pts don't remember, acknowledge, or know how far their dementia really is. Or sometimes they are ashamed or afraid to acknowledge how bad it is. I do love your videos! Im learning alot . They are extremely helpful.
