    The first is to strengthen the control of risk factors, and the second is to adhere to the drug ** for a long time. For mild patients, the patient is still encouraged to do something within his ability, although his ability has decreased, but he must let him do what he can do as much as possible. He needs help to help him, but don't help him do it all, let him sit and do nothing every day, it will affect him a lot, because he doesn't get effective functional training, and the disease will progress very quickly.

    In the middle stage, more emphasis should be placed on the maintenance of basic living ability, and attention should also be paid to abnormal mental behaviors and prevention of getting lost. In the severe stage, the drug ** should also be continued, and at the same time, the main bias is nursing, and the patient's nutrition must be strengthened, if you do not eat, you can go down the gastric tube, gastrointestinal fistula or give intravenous nutrition; At the same time, it is necessary to turn over frequently to avoid bedsores due to not turning over for a long time; Be sure to maintain personal hygiene to avoid infection. The above is an exclusive interview with Dr. Sun Yongan of Health Times, I hope it will be helpful to you.

    In addition, the drugs ** donepezil hydrochloride, mannute sodium (phase 9 one) and so on.

    Empathy. It is well known that it is really difficult to communicate with elderly people with Alzheimer's disease because they will forget the content of the conversation at any time, and if the communication is not correct, it can also cause them anxiety, depression, etc. Professional caregivers emphasize that when taking care of the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, it is necessary to learn to empathize, understand their hearts, and give the elderly more patience.

    In addition, for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, body language is more useful than speech, and they can be soothed by facial expressions or body movements.

    2. Memory cards.

    In the wardrobes of some nursing institutions, bathroom mirrors and other places, we found a kind of "memory card", which records the daily life description or the answers to the questions often asked by the elderly, and the nursing staff said that these cards can effectively answer the doubts of the elderly. In addition, they will also place the elderly's family photo album in the room, and mark the family information in ** to help them retain the lost memories.

    3. Biographical archives.

    The memory of the elderly with Alzheimer's disease will be disordered, and they will often think that they are still living in the past, so the caregiver will establish a detailed life file for them, understand the family members and life stories of the elderly, where their parents like to go, what their spouses like to eat, what their children like to play, etc., so as to better interact with the elderly, so when caring for the elderly, you can cooperate with them to talk about the past, listen to old songs, and flip through photo albums, so that they can relax and enjoy a good time.

    4. Listen and encourage.

    Alzheimer's elderly people are forgetful, they may wake up, forget who they are, where they are, and will mention some long-term memories or marginal things to you, at this time, what you have to do is to listen to and conform to these memories, do not correct them forcefully, encourage them to speak, so that the elderly have a sense of security.

    5. Life assistance**.

    Life aid** is used in many professional institutions for Alzheimer's disease**. To put it simply, it is to interact with him and simulate life scenarios. For example, if you simulate a fruit selling scene, you play the role of a scheming seller and the elderly person plays the role of a customer who successfully bargains, etc., these old habits will help the elderly find a sense of accomplishment and restore their self-confidence.

    In our research, we found that Alzheimer's care requires a certain amount of training, otherwise it is difficult to master these tips. As a result, more and more families are no longer counting on nannies to care for the elderly, but instead send the elderly to professional elderly care services that can provide Alzheimer's care. Although most elderly care institutions are not professional in Alzheimer's care, some professional elderly care service institutions have begun to reach the level, and we believe that in the future, more professional institutions will stand out and better solve the problems of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.

    For those who have been bedridden for a long time, they should pay attention to their bowel and bowel movements, and turn over and rub their backs regularly to prevent pressure ulcers. For patients who are agitated and restless, they should be accompanied by family members to avoid accidents. Pay attention to the patient's diet and daily life, and give assistance or nasogastric feeding to those who are unable to eat or have difficulty eating.

    Strengthen the training of patients' living ability and memory.

    Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with insidious onset, commonly known as dementiaIt is more common in older people, but in some cases in young people if there is a family history of dementia.

    What should family members be aware of?

    1. The general symptom of the early stage of Alzheimer's disease is memory impairment, which is manifested as reverse amnesia, that is, forgetting the latest thing first, and the earlier it happens, the slower it will be forgotten. When the elderly in the family have forgotten recent events, the family should pay attention to them, go to the hospital for examination in time, let the patient seek medical treatment in time, and delay the progress of the disease.

    2. Patients with Alzheimer's disease often forget the way home, so once there is an elderly person in the family who suffers from this disease, the family must avoid the patient going out alone as much as possible. In addition, because the patient is always forgetful, it is also necessary to avoid the patient being alone, because the person who is alone needs to cook, the patient can easily forget to turn off the gas, forget to turn off the faucet, forget the hot water that is boiling in the kitchen. Once this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

    3. In addition to memory impairment, patients with Alzheimer's disease will also have aphasia, apraxia, cognitive impairment, personality changes, etc., as the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, everyone knows that honoring parents is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, everyone knows that they should honor their parents, but not everyone can be patient as always, when the patient has been ill for a long time, the symptoms are getting more and more serious, and when he does more and more wrong things, his children and partners will become more and more impatient to take care of him, if it reaches this pointIf the family conditions allow, they can be sent to a nursing home or a special institution for Alzheimer's patients, where professional staff are responsible for the patient's diet, psychological counseling, illness, etc., and then visit them for a week.

    Three or four times, in this way, I can get by on my conscience, and for the patient, this does not mean abandonment, and it is not a good thing.

    Patients with Alzheimer's disease need to be cared for, and I hope we can be patient and tolerant of them.

    To take care of Alzheimer's patients, the following needs to be done: First, patients with mild Alzheimer's disease should place a note in the patient's home, write down the knowledge that the patient needs to remember, and smile sleepily so as not to forget. When the patient goes out, the patient should be asked to bring a card with the name of the family contact, Wang Youhan's address, and ** number to prevent the patient from getting lost.

    Second, for patients with moderate and severe Alzheimer's disease, it is necessary to properly cultivate the patient's living ability, prevent the rapid decline of the patient's living ability, and train the patient's limb and joint activities.
