IntroductionDementia is a brain syndrome that causes cognitive impairment. This occurs as a result of various degenerative neurological diseases. Dementia includes Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, multi-infarct dementia and a few others. Of all the types, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common and well-known form. In this article, I will focus on Alzheimer's disease more than others. Patients with Alzheimer's disease suffer from a serious brain disorder, which impacts the patient's performance of daily activities due to memory loss. Alzheimer's disease is defined as "a degenerative, incurable, terminal disease...Biologically, AD is described as a 'loss of the ability to think'" (treatment for Alzheimer's disease). Patients with Alzheimer's disease exhibit progressive cognitive failure in the formation and retrieval of new memories. Patients experience changes in their personality and lose their ability to navigate familiar environments. For example, I currently work with residents with Alzheimer's disease and most of them don't know how to get back to their apartment when they go out in a circle in the hallway. Moreover, some of them look at their photo with their husband or wife and say that it is their parents. Alzheimer's disease is more common in women over 65 than in men of the same age. Women represent almost two-thirds of Alzheimer's disease patients in the United States (sex and gender differences, etc.). This trend is relevant to nursing practice because these individuals require holistic care, which is at the heart of nursing practice. Over the next decade, there will be many older people due to the retirement of baby boomers. Therefore, there might be a shortage of nurses to care for these frail... middle of paper ...... family members have developed this disease, the nurse would inform the rest of the members from the family that they are at risk. I learned and how it would help me in practice. I work with residents with Alzheimer's disease but I didn't know much about this form of detention. I learned that as we age, our risk factor for AD increases and that if patients develop this disease before age 65, it is strongly linked to genetics. Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease More than a century ago, Alzheimer's disease was discovered when Alois Alzheimer characterized a disease from which patients died (Alzheimer's treatment). Surprisingly little is known about the causes, treatment, pathogenesis, management and prognosis of this disease. Alzheimer's disease is difficult to diagnose, especially in its early stages. Effective treatment remains elusive
