Which phrase best describes the memory function evaluation focus?

• A. Steps to evaluate patient's memory function.
• B. Care plan for memory training.
• C. Nutritional assessment.
• D. Physical therapy plan.

Answer: (A)

Memory function evaluation centers on the process used to assess memory, including gathering history, using screening tools, and observing how memory affects daily tasks to determine status. The phrase that best fits this focus is “Steps to evaluate the patient's memory function,” because it emphasizes the procedural assessment itself rather than planning interventions. The other options describe actions that come after evaluation or are unrelated to evaluating memory: planning memory training, nutritional assessment, or a physical therapy plan.
