Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A Rationale: Unscrewing the pins from the cervical tongs is not the best first action for bathing a client with a spinal cord injury.

Choice B Rationale: Urinary incontinence can occur in Alzheimer's disease, but it is not specific to the mild stage.

Choice C Rationale: Inability to smile is not a typical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease but may be related to facial muscle weakness or other factors.
