This article is a nursing paper about Alzheimer's disease that I carefully arranged for you. The sentence is concise and it is a good model essay. I hope you like it.
Abstract: Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, namely Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, is a chronic disease caused by brain cell injury. After illness, the patient's brain cells will degenerate rapidly. The medical profession believes that the disease is closely related to the following factors: genetic factors (about 10% patients have a clear family history), education level (people with low education level), living habits (smoking, excessive drinking, full food), head trauma, environmental factors and so on.
Paper Keywords: Alzheimer's disease symptom care
On average, one person in the world suffers from Alzheimer's disease every seven seconds. According to the data released by the International Association of Alzheimer's Harmo's Disease, the number of patients with Alzheimer's Harmo's disease in China has reached more than 6 million, and it is doubling every year and getting younger. The incidence of moderate and severe Alzheimer's disease in people over 65 years old was 4.8%, and that in people over 80 years old was 23.3%.
First, the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease can be divided into three stages: early stage, middle stage and late stage. Early performance is generally forgetfulness, and normal social interaction can be carried out at ordinary times, so it is often ignored by patients and their families. At this time, the prominent symptom of the elderly is memory disorder (especially recent memory). Patients always forget what happened just now, but remember the past clearly. Family members sometimes mistakenly think that patients have a good memory.
Specific examples are as follows:
1, forget when you do it, and forget when you leave. When cooking, I have put salt in it, but I don't know if I put it in. I locked the door and went out, but I felt the door was half open. Forgot to bring a basket or money when shopping; I went to pick up my grandson and bought a bottle of vinegar. My grandson took the vinegar but didn't buy it.
2, the words are not satisfactory, embarrassing. I wanted to express one meaning, but when I said it, it was another meaning. I always say the same thing over and over again.
3. Forget the names of acquaintances. Walking in the street, I am an old acquaintance but I can't name him.
4. Suspicious suspicion. I can't find my things, and I always suspect that someone else stole them.
5. Emotional apathy. I'm not interested in anything, even what I used to be interested in.
6. the computing power is declining. Shopping on the street is a very simple account, which is very laborious to calculate, or even impossible to calculate at all.
In patients with intermediate Alzheimer's disease, both distant memory and near memory are obviously impaired. For example, if you forget the phone number you have used for many years, you can't remember when you got married. Some old people show obvious personality and behavior changes. For example, they used to be gentle and generous, but now they are grumpy and narrow-minded I used to have a bad temper, but now I am obedient. Most patients are not interested in the things around them, lack enthusiasm, and can't finish their accustomed work. Some patients show anxiety, such as walking around aimlessly indoors, or getting up in the middle of the night to grope around, opening, closing and moving things. Some patients may get lost if they go a little further, and some even get lost in familiar environments.
In the late stage, the patient doesn't know the surrounding environment, and he doesn't know the year, month and season. It is difficult to add and subtract within 10. He needs to take care of his daily life and can only remember the names of one or two people, such as himself or his spouse.
The first period: the forgetting period. During this period, he was particularly forgetful. While his memory was damaged, his computing ability, cognitive ability and directional ability gradually appeared obstacles, and his range of activities was narrowed, but he was still able to maintain his daily life without the help of others. This period is the longest duration of this disease.
The second period: the period of insanity. During this period, dementia continued to get worse, and the condition took a turn for the worse, and cognitive function further declined, accompanied by agnosia, aphasia and apraxia. Thinking and emotional disorders and personality changes are obvious, and behavior is obviously abnormal. Some patients may have hyperactivity, eyelid covering, increased muscle tension, hemiplegia and seizures, and it is difficult for them to take care of themselves in daily life and need help from others.
The third stage: dementia stage: the patient is seriously demented, in a state of complete silence, complete bed rest and complete loss of self-care ability. Often accompanied by cachexia, myotonia and urinary incontinence.
Second, prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Studies have shown that diligent study and good use of the brain can prevent Alzheimer's disease. Because reading and education can increase the signal conduction between nerve cells in the brain and increase the number of synapses. Even with brain lesions, the cognitive function of the brain of patients with high academic qualifications is still much better than that of patients with low academic qualifications. Therefore, the elderly should try their best to keep active thinking and be good at association, and take part in more mental work, such as reading, studying, playing chess, drawing, playing intellectual games, dancing, playing musical instruments, playing cards and crossword puzzles, and attending universities for the elderly. All these contribute to the prevention of Alzheimer's disease, and can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.
Experts also made the following suggestions to the elderly:
1. Take an active part in beneficial social activities and maintain good interpersonal communication.
2, maintain a normal state of mind, optimistic mood, open-minded and cheerful, regardless of trivial matters.
3. Keep a regular life and take part in physical exercise regularly, but exercise moderately to avoid overwork and fatigue.
4, pay attention to nutrition, reasonable diet, thick and thin collocation, often eat some cereals, beans, vegetables, fruits, fish, lean meat and so on. ; Eat less and don't be too full.
5. Do not drink alcohol, control obesity, try to prevent or control hypertension and diabetes, and reduce the intake of salt and sugar.
6, to prevent brain trauma and gas poisoning.
7, regular physical examination to the specialist hospital, early detection, early treatment.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative encephalopathy, which is closely related to the oxidative damage of brain nerve cells and the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain, destroying the transmission of information in neural networks. It is recommended to take some antioxidants. Such as vitamin E, there is a new kind of Kekeming on the market at present, which is a functional health care product for preventing Alzheimer's disease. It can inhibit and remove amyloid plaques in the brain through antioxidant wells. Long-term use can prevent Alzheimer's disease.
We should pay attention to respecting the living habits and self-esteem of the elderly, don't criticize too much, and encourage them. Encourage patients to participate in physical exercise as much as possible, such as gymnastics, Tai Ji Chuan, walking, etc. To create a harmonious, comfortable and clean environment for patients. Household appliances, gas, etc. Should be properly managed to prevent patients from accidents. Patients need someone to accompany them when they go out, or write down their names and addresses on cards so that they can carry them with them.
Third, the rehabilitation of Alzheimer's patients
Rehabilitation can not be neglected in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which has a certain effect on the improvement of the disease. Rehabilitation therapy mainly includes psychological rehabilitation and memory rehabilitation.
1, psychological rehabilitation
(1), enthusiastic care: medical staff and their relatives should care for and care for patients, pay attention to respecting patients' personality, talk kindly, and avoid using words such as silly. At the same time, according to the psychological characteristics of different patients, we should use comfort, encouragement and suggestion to give guidance. Patients who are pessimistic should be patiently explained, and some typical cured cases should be introduced to arouse the courage and confidence of patients to overcome the disease. Relatives should take the initiative to take care of patients with difficulties in life, care warmly and warm their hearts with practical actions;
(2) Play music: According to the patients' cultural accomplishment and hobbies, selectively play some music they like to listen to, so as to activate their mental mood. Experimental research shows that music can improve the function of cerebral cortex, increase its blood supply and oxygen supply, and better regulate the function of autonomic nervous system;
(3) Rational drug use: If the patient suffers from pain or insomnia, the doctor should use appropriate drugs in time to relieve his pain and symptoms; (4) Encourage patients to participate in some social and family activities that they can learn and do, so as to distract patients' bad emotions and attention and arouse their confidence in life.
2. Memory rehabilitation
(1), intelligence training: according to patients' condition and education level, they can be taught to remember some numbers and trained repeatedly from simple to complex; You can also make some things into jingles for them to recite. You can also use playing cards, puzzles, calligraphy, etc. to help patients expand their thinking and enhance their memory.
(2) Strengthen memory: Don't let patients go out alone to avoid getting lost. Show the patient the bedroom and toilet in the room repeatedly. Relatives should often chat with them or tell interesting stories to strengthen their memory and recollection. If we can persist in long-term step-by-step training, there may be hope of success.
(3) Training life: relatives should teach patients to do some housework, such as sweeping the floor, wiping the table and making the bed. In order to take care of yourself.
Fourthly, the nursing of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease.
1. First of all, we should prevent the elderly from bedridden.
For patients with Alzheimer's disease, it is easy for family members to overprotect, which is the biggest cause of bedridden patients. Once the patient is bedridden, there may be many complications, which will aggravate the symptoms of dementia and shorten the life span. Therefore, patients with early dementia should be allowed to do something under the care and guidance of their families. In addition, family members should also understand the patient's psychological state, never alienate the patient, and help the patient eliminate psychological and behavioral obstacles and help the patient recover his memory. This is a very important link for the prevention and treatment of early patients.
2. Pay attention to diet and nutrition.
Alzheimer's patients generally have different degrees of eating disorders and swallowing disorders. Moreover, the elderly's own renal function, digestive and absorption functions are low, basal metabolism and physical activity are reduced, which is easy to hinder the body's utilization and absorption of nutrients, leading to malnutrition and even anemia. Therefore, we should consider the balance of quantity and quality in the diet of dementia patients, choose foods that are easy to digest and swallow, and don't have to limit the intake of protein and fat. Poor nutrition will further promote the development of diseases.
3. Maintain daily hygiene habits.
For patients with early dementia, we should try our best to help them maintain their daily habits and hygiene habits. Living, dressing, brushing your teeth, washing your face, etc. Even if it is not standardized, try to let him do it. Because this is also a link that cannot be ignored to prevent the further development of the disease. For bedridden patients, care should be given, oral cavity should be cleaned regularly, and people should take a bath and wash their hair, and change clothes frequently. Dementia patients often have urinary incontinence, and once urinary incontinence occurs, the condition has reached a quite serious period. However, defecation should be handled and cleaned in time to keep the skin clean and dry to prevent infection.
4. Prevent infection.
The incidence of pneumonia in dementia patients is very high, and the mortality rate is also very high. According to foreign survey data, more than 90% of the deaths of dementia patients are due to pneumonia. Once complicated, the course of disease progresses rapidly, especially for patients in bed, whose body functions decline in all aspects, such as respiratory system function decline, body infection defense ability decline, as well as consciousness disorder, malnutrition, incontinence, bedsore, etc., which are prone to pneumonia. Therefore, the above situation should be avoided as far as possible, and once complicated with infection, it should be treated in time.
Prevent bedsores. The so-called bedsore refers to the necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by local circulation disorder. To prevent the occurrence of bedsore, we should first manage the bedridden patients systematically and locally. System management includes treating primary disease, improving general condition, keeping water and electrolyte balance in the body and preventing infection. Local management: change the body position of bedridden patients every 2 13 hours, pay attention to observe the skin and keep the skin clean. It is best to wash with warm water, not alcohol or disinfectant. You can use local cotton pads, pillows, foam pads, etc. to rest in hip, rib and other prone parts.
