Caring for the Cognitively Impaired Client
Description
Dementing illnesses, whether functional or organic, involve mental and behavioral changes that can be difficult for a caregiver to make sense of-and to cope with. This program addresses the causes of cognitive impairment and presents approaches to caring for adult clients that preserve their dignity. Depression and delirium are given special attention, as well as behaviors common to senile dementia such as disorientation, confusion, clinging, and wandering. Designated for 2 contact hours of continuing nursing education.
