Document Content and Description Below
Alzheimer’s Dementia. Mrs. Riley has been experiencing symptoms of dementia such as memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and forgetfulnessthat have progressively worsened over the past 2 to 3 ... years (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute on Aging, 2019). Her daughter now reports symptoms of impaired memory, judgment, and orientation; sundowning; decline in ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs); mood and personality changes; and symptoms of depression (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute on Aging, 2019). The physical examination findings of generalized cortical atrophy and reduced hippocampal volume on brain MRI coupled with her scoring on neurological exams (mini-mental state, geriatric depression, mini-cog, clock-draw) indicating moderate cognitive impairment make this diagnosis the most plausible (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute on Aging, 2019).nursingihumanrileyAdvanced Health AssesmentNU665B Advanced Health Assesment-Week 2-HI Humans-Janet R-2021 [Show More]
