Abstract

This article presents a functional, brief, and, above all, practical orientation to Alzheimer's disease. This disease, with its many unanswered questions (and occasional unquestioned answers), is in first instance a disease to be cared for. The burden of this caring initially falls on care-givers and families; however, once Alzheimer's patients enter the formal health care system, nurses will be at the forefront of care. The foundation to good care is a solid but also applied understanding of the disease,how it manifests itself, and how it is experienced by patients, caregivers,and families.

摘要

本文介绍了一种针对阿尔茨海默病的实用、简洁且最重要的是具有实际指导意义的内容。这种疾病存在诸多未解之谜（以及偶尔一些未经质疑的答案），首先它是一种需要照料的疾病。这种照料的负担最初落在照料者和家庭身上；然而，一旦阿尔茨海默病患者进入正规医疗保健系统，护士将处于护理的前沿。优质护理的基础是对该疾病有扎实且实用的理解，包括它如何表现、患者、照料者和家庭如何体验它。
