Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients With Dementia
Case study: An elderly Iranian man with Alzheimer’s disease
The Alzheimer’s Association defines dementia as “a general term for a
decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life”
(Alzheimer’s Association, 2016). This term encompasses dozens of
cognitive disorders of impaired memory formation, recall, and
communication. The care and treatment of clients with dementia is
dependent on multiple factors, including the stage of dementia,
comorbidities, family support, and even the care setting. In your role, as
the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, you must be prepared
to not only treat clients with these various cognitive disorders, but also
the multiple behavioral issues that often accompany them. For this
Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s
Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients
presenting with dementia.NURS 6630 – Psychopharmacologic
