What activity uses clocks, calendars, and current events?

• A. Timekeeping strategy
• B. Reality orientation
• C. Problem solving training
• D. Memory enhancement

Answer: (B)

Reality orientation centers on helping someone stay anchored to the present by repeatedly reminding them of the current time, date, and events around them. Activities that use clocks, calendars, and current events provide concrete cues to situate a person in reality, which is especially helpful for individuals experiencing confusion or cognitive changes. By pointing to a calendar, reading the date aloud, noting the time, and discussing recent happenings, you reinforce understanding of when and where they are. Other options aim at different goals—managing time or improving memory or problem-solving skills—without these real-time cues designed to keep someone oriented to the current moment.
