Alzheimer's | Dementia
“Alzheimer disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting more than one-third of Americans older than 85 years. It is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline” (Hazlewood, Onysko, et al, 2011, par. 1).
Some causes of Alzheimer’s disease have been linked to environmental and genetic factors, however, there is still no known cure or prophylaxis. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s vary with its level of severity, which ranges from mild (cognitive impairment; withdrawal; unable to perform ADLs), to moderate (disorientation; forgets names and combativeness), to severe (incontinence; dependency; forgets family members and loss of intelligible vocabulary).
