Week 10 Assignment
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 –
