In the late night ward, most of the patients had entered the dreamland, but Uncle Liu kept hovering in the corridor, as if a child who could not find a family. It turned out that Uncle Liu suffered from Alzheimer's disease. After going out of the ward, he forgot his way back. The nurse on duty immediately brought him back to the ward and instructed to accompany: "Be sure to close the door to prevent the elderly from losing."

Today is the World Alzheimer's Day. Alzheimer's disease seriously endangers the physical and mental health of the elderly. So, how should caregivers help patients delay the development of the disease?

Copy memory disorders to do so

I can't remember things, and I don't even know where they are, which is often symptoms of Alzheimer's disease patients. The following methods can help patients overcome the inconvenience caused by memory barriers:

Daily arrangements are arranged in a certain order to arrange what patients do every day. Use reminders to use the toilet, calendar, alarm clock, etc. to remind patients what to do. Make marking on the furniture and items commonly used at home, such as indicating the direction and name, so as not to have a frustration due to forgotten words.

Don't worry if you encounter a communication barrier

When communicating with the patient, the caregiver should avoid external noise interference, watch the patient's attention, and smile with a smile; before communication, first call the patient's name, talk simple, just say one thing at a time; try not to doubt the sentence, do not have to doubt the sentence, do not have to doubt the sentence, do not have to doubt the sentence. Reduce the speed of speech and wait patiently for the patient to answer. When the patient does not understand, the caregiver should remind the patient more to reduce the patient's frustration; cooperate with the physical pictures and photos, and use the limb language to comfort, encourage and praise the patient in a timely manner; when the patient makes a mistake, do not argue with it, and patiently persuade them to persuade them Essence Although there is no treatment for the progress of Alzheimer's disease, as long as the patient actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, and supplemented by various non -drug cognitive training, most patients' disease progress will be delayed.
