When should the dental appointment be scheduled for an Alzheimer's patient?

ALZHEIMER'S patients experience 'SUNDOWNING' — increased confusion, agitation, and behavioral disturbances in the late afternoon and evening. Therefore, dental appointments should be scheduled in the MORNING when the patient is most alert, cooperative, and has the least confusion. Morning appointments also allow the patient to be rested and at their best cognitive level for the day. A (morning) is correct.
