- Ertha has Dementia which is a neurologic disorder that affects ones memory, thinking, and behavior. It can even affect fine motor skills causing loss of balance or ones ability to perform ADL’s. Ertha is no longer in her familiar home which is adding to her anxiety and could be making her dementia worse. She may forget to take medication or take it more than once due to poor memory. Key nursing considerations would be to have a CNA help assist with ADL’s and report back to Nurse if Ertha isn’t willing to comply with help. Ertha should be given help but as long as she is capable, she should perform all ADL’s unassisted. Ertha should have a schedule laid out and easily followed so she can focus. All tasks need to be made very simple and easy to follow to avoid the patient from getting confused and agitated. Ertha should have a medication box clearly marked so she can read it. Meals need to be monitored because as the dementia progresses, she may forget to eat.
