- .Alzheimer's disease is usually diagnosed clinically based on the presence of characteristic neurological and neuropsychological features and the absence of alternative conditions. Advanced medical imaging can be used to exclude other cerebral pathology or subtypes of dementia, and assessment of intellectual functioning can further characterize the state of the disease. Diagnosis can be confirmed post-mortem when brain material is available and can be examined histologically.
- OMG! Is that treatable doc?
- Doc, what's happening with my mom?
- For your mother's treatment session and pharmacological therapy, I have issued prescriptions. The directions for that will also be provided to you by the nurse.
- Mrs. Garcia, after assessing your mom and her lab results, we have found that your mom is currently suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
- Apparently, we don't have a cure yet for that disease. But there are different treatments that we can use to change the disease's progression.
- Nurses are responsible for teaching the family or caregiver of a patient with Alzheimer's about the progression and treatment of the disease needed. Since there is impaired cognitive and motor function for patients with this kind of disease, the nurse will educate the client about the safety hazards and ADLs of the patient. Moreover, since the patient is suffering from disorientation and muscle weakness, precautions to avoid injury will also be taken.
- Good day, Mrs. Garcia, I'm Nurse Ron. I am here to provide you with health education for your mom's condition. Please allow me to demonstrate with you some of the ADLs and teach you the dos and don'ts when taking care of your mom.
- Lola, are you peeing? But that's not the toilet bowl, po. Wait me here, I'll just call the nurse, ok?
- Of course, dear, we just need to be by her side to guide her, okay?
- .
- Will Lola be alright?
