Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dementia is what we call a loss of cognitive functioning. This can involve having a harder time remembering or reasoning, harder time thinking in general and it even extends to behavioral abilities that later grow so much that they interfere with daily activities. In this scenario, Carol's mom does not remember her and doesn't know she is coming to visit her in the nursing home.
