NRS 434V Week 5 Discussion 1
Describe the elements of a comprehensive health assessment of a geriatric patient. What special considerations should the nurse keep in mind while performing this assessment?
NRS 434V Week 5 Discussion 2
End-of-life care becomes an issue at some point for elderly clients. Even with the emergence of palliative care programs and hospice programs, the majority of elderly people do not die in their own home as is their preference. What are the reasons for this trend? Discuss what you can do as a nurse to support your clients in end-of-life care and in supporting their desires. Support your response with evidence-based literature.
Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks
Although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging
Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer’s, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. (“Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia | Alzheimer’s Association”,2014 )
On This presentation we will see how Alzheimer’s disease affects not just those whose memories are lost , but also those whose memories remain intact.
Away From Her is about the bonds that hold a couple together even when a couple faces challenges that test every ounce of their caring and commitment to each other.
Fiona (Julie Christie) and Grant (Gordon Pinsent) have been married for 44 years and live in an isolated farm house in Ontario, Canada
They enjoy cross-country skiing and their intimacy but the looming clouds of Alzheimer’s disease threaten their life together in love.
In the midst of their happiest life Fiona (the wife) starts to have signs of dementia. She misplaced the frying pan away in the refrigerator , while hosting their friends for dinner, she reaches for a bottle but can’t remember the word wine, she lost track of where she is while cross-country skiing by herself
Fiona’s reminding of Grant of something she does not want to forget — the pain she felt years ago when as a university professor of mythology he had affairs with younger women left him in agony, guilt and regret from his past actions.
Grant faced the challenges of adjusting to his wife’s memory loss and her attachment to mute fellow patient Aubrey (Michael Murphy) a wheelchair-bound patient at Meadowlake
Grant , the husband will be the subject of my functional assessment to assess his functional health patterns with respect to his state of compounded loss: loss of loved one, he grieves Fiona’s loss of her past, he mourns the future they will not have together and he loses his wife to another man. Grant’s living in guilt and regret on his past infidelity and an adulterous affair also affects his transitioning & adjusting to his new way of life.
1.Health Perception/Health management
ªGrant wants to believe that these memory lapses are a normal part of the aging process and also unprecedented.
ªHe clings to the the thin thread of hope that his wife’s condition will not get worse.
ªGrants appears to continue exercising
- Nutrition/Metabolic
ª Throughout the movie he does not show any evidence of change in dietary habit, no apparent weight gain or loss noticed .
- Pattern of Activity/exercise
ªIn this transition time of coping we see Grant still doing his cross- country skiing
ªHe regularly visits Fiona
ªSometimes rest and watch her while she talks with her new friend
ªHe also enjoys watching what is going around and among the residents of Meadowlake
- Conceptual/Perceptual pattern
ªGrant obviously struggling to understand how roles are changing for both him and Fiona.
- Pattern of sleep and Rest
ªGrant shows no sign of sleeplessness or fatigue on most of the scenes.
ªHe definitely have the emotional stress of adjusting with Fiona’s condition (telling he is her husband and reminding her for how long they have been married).
