The document discusses Alzheimer's disease. It provides 3 key points about the disorder: 1. It involves hardening of the arteries due to thickening of the artery layers, which can be prevented through regular exercise and managing conditions like high blood pressure. 2. Risk factors include age, mild cognitive impairments, smoking, alcohol use, and genetics. Diagnosis involves examination of spinal fluid and simple lab tests to detect physical brain problems. 3. Nursing care aims to provide a predictable routine and social engagement. Medications treat symptoms while education establishes a positive mood to allow for interactions and gain attention.
