Trigger 3:
Eyang kung dan eyang uti sudah menikah selama 47 tahun. Keduanya
berusia 66 tahun. Kedua anaknya sudah menikah dan tinggal terpisah.
Selama Sembilan bulan terakhir, Eyang Uti tidak dapat mengingat nama
anak-ananknya dan juga nomor telepon mereka. Kesehariannya, semua
aktifitas di rumah di bantu oleh Eyang Kung, bahkan untuk memilih
bajunya pun tidak bisa. Suatu sore, Eyang Kung meminta Eyang Uti untuk
membelikan roti di warung. Namun setelah ditunggu satu jam, Eyang Uti
tidak kunjung pulang. Tetangga menemukan Eyang Uti terlihat gemetar,
bingung, dan berjalan tanpa tujuan yang jelas. Saat diperiksa oleh
perawat, kesadaran baik, afebril, skor MMSE 20/30, mempunyai riwayat
DM tipe 2, TD 160/100 mmHg, N=80x/menit, RR=18x/menit, S=37o C.
Eyang Kung mengatakan kesulitan merawat Eyang Uti dengan kondisi
seperti ini. Dokter menginstruksikan pemberian anti-kholinesterase dan
anti-hipertensi.

2nd Group Discussion:
1. Definition
Alzheimer’s disease is a disease of the brain cause problems with
memory, thinking, and behavior. It is not a normal part of aging.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among
older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a
person's ability to carry out daily activities.
2. Epidemiology
Alzheimer's disease can occur at any age, 96% of cases found after
40 years of age or older. Schoenburg and Coleangus (1987) reported
incidence by age: 4.4 / 1000.000 at the age of 30-50 years, 95.8 /
100,000 at age> 80 years. The revalence of this disease per 100,000
population about 300 in the age group 60-69 years, 3200 in the age
group 70-79 years, and 10 800 at age 80. It is estimated that in 2000
there were 2 million people with Alzheimer's disease. While in Indonesia
estimated the number of old age range, 18.5 million people with the
incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is not known with
certainty.
Based on gender, the prevalence of three times more women than
men. This may be a reflection of women's life expectancy longer than
men. From some studies no differences for gender.
The World Health Organization estimated that in 2005, 0.379% of
people worldwide had dementia, and that the prevalence would
increase to 0.441% in 2015 and to 0.556% in 2030. Other studies have
reached similar conclusions. Another study estimated that in 2006,
0.40% of the world population (range 0.17–0.89%; absolute number
26.6 million, range 11.4–59.4 million) were afflicted by AD, and that the
prevalence rate would triple and the absolute number would quadruple
by 2050.
3. Etiology
The exact cause of AD is inknown. Several causes which have
been (dihipotesa) is metal intoxication, impaired immune function,
infection viruses, air pollution/industrial, trauma, heriditer predispotition,
etc.
There’s some risk factor:
- Age
The greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer’s is increasing age.
Most individuals with the illness are 65 and older. The likelihood
of developing Alzheimer’s approximately doubles every five
years after age 65. After age 85, the risk reaches nearly 50
percent.
- Family history
Risk of Alzheimer's that appears slightly higher if first-degree
relatives - parents and siblings - have Alzheimer's.
- In additional to aging and genetic factors, all the following have
been documented as risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease:
- DM type 2
- Head injury
- Stroke and mini-stroke
- High cholesterol level
- High blood pressure
- Down syndrome
- Chronic inflammatory condition
- History of depression
- Stress
- Lack of physical exercise
- Inadequate brain exercise
- Unhealthy consumption
- Obesity
- Gender
Women are more susceptible than men, this is because women
generally live longer than men.
- Mild cognitive impairment (MIC)
People who have mild cognitive impairment have memory
problems that get worse than what might be expected at his age
and has not been bad enough to classify as dementia. Many of
those who are in this condition continues to have Alzheimer's
disease.
- Lifestyle
Same factors that made you are at the same risk of heart
disease also increases the likelihood you will get Alzheimer's
disease.
- Level of education
Some scientists theorize, the more often you use your brain
synapses will be more that you create will be available where a
lot of reserves in the old days. It would be difficult to find the
Alzheimer's brain in people who train regularly, or those who
have higher education levels.
4. Pathophysiology
5. Clinical Manifestation
There are 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease:
a. Memory loss that disrupts daily life
One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in
the early stages, is forgetting recently learned information. Others
include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same
information over and over; and relying on memory aides (e.g.,
reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things
they used to handle on their own.
b. Challenges in planning or solving problems
Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and
follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following
a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have
difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they
did before.
c. Difficulty of completing familiar tasks at home
People with Alzheimer’s disease often find it hard to complete daily
tasks. Sometimes, people have trouble driving to a familiar location,
managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite
game.
d. Disorientation time and place
People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the
passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if
it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where
they are or how they got there.
e. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer’s.
They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining
color or contrast. In terms of perception, they may pass a mirror and
think someone else is in the room. They may not realize they are the
person in the mirror.
f. Have problem with words in speaking or writing
People with Alzheimer’s may have trouble following or joining a
conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and
have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They
may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word
or call things by the wrong name (e.g: calling a watch a “hand
clock”).
g. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in unusual places.
They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to
find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing.
This may occur more frequently over time.
h. Decreased or poor judgement
People with Alzheimer’s may experience changes in judgment or
decision making. For example, they may use poor judgment when
dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They
may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.
i. Withdrawal from work or social activities
A person with Alzheimer’s may start to remove themselves from
hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have
trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how
to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social
because of the changes they have experienced.
j. Changes in mood and personality
The mood and personality of people with Alzheimer’s can change.
They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or
anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or
in places where they are out of their comfort zone.
Stage of Alzheimer’s disease
According to National Alzheimer’s Association (2011), there are 7
stages of AD:
Stage 1: No impairment (normal function)
The person does not experience any memory problems. An interview
with a medical professional does not show any evidence of symptoms
of dementia.
Stage 2: Very mild cognitive decline (may be normal age-related
changes or earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease)
The person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses —
forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects. But no
symptoms of dementia can be detected during a medical examination
or by friends, family or co-workers.
Stage 3: Mild cognitive decline (early-stage Alzheimer's can be
diagnosed in some, but not all, individuals with these symptoms)
Friends, family or co-workers begin to notice difficulties. During a
detailed medical interview, doctors may be able to detect problems in
memory or concentration. Common stage 3 difficulties include:
- Noticeable problems coming up with the right word or name
- Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people
- Having noticeably greater difficulty performing tasks in social or
work settings Forgetting material that one has just read
- Losing or misplacing a valuable object
- Increasing trouble with planning or organizing
Stage 4: Moderate cognitive decline (Mild or early-stage
Alzheimer's disease)
At this point, a careful medical interview should be able to detect clear-
cut symptoms in several areas:
- Forgetfulness of recent events
- Impaired ability to perform challenging mental arithmetic — for
example, counting backward from 100 by 7s
- Greater difficulty performing complex tasks, such as planning
dinner for guests, paying bills or managing finances
- Forgetfulness about one's own personal history
- Becoming moody or withdrawn, especially in socially or mentally
challenging situations
-
Stage 5: Moderately severe cognitive decline (Moderate or mid-
stage Alzheimer's disease)
Gaps in memory and thinking are noticeable, and individuals begin to
need help with day-to-day activities. At this stage, those with
Alzheimer's may:
- Be unable to recall their own address or telephone number or
the high school or college from which they graduated
- Become confused about where they are or what day it is
- Have trouble with less challenging mental arithmetic; such as
counting backward from 40 by subtracting 4s or from 20 by 2s
- Need help choosing proper clothing for the season or the
occasion
- Still remember significant details about themselves and their
family
- Still require no assistance with eating or using the toilet
Stage 6: Severe cognitive decline (Moderately severe or mid-stage
Alzheimer's disease)
Memory continues to worsen, personality changes may take place and
individuals need extensive help with daily activities. At this stage,
individuals may:
- Lose awareness of recent experiences as well as of their
surroundings
- Remember their own name but have difficulty with their personal
history
- Distinguish familiar and unfamiliar faces but have trouble
remembering the name of a spouse or caregiver
- Need help dressing properly and may, without supervision,
make mistakes such as putting pajamas over daytime clothes or
shoes on the wrong feet
- Experience major changes in sleep patterns — sleeping during
the day and becoming restless at night
- Need help handling details of toileting (for example, flushing the
toilet, wiping or disposing of tissue properly)
- Have increasingly frequent trouble controlling their bladder or
bowels
- Experience major personality and behavioral changes, including
suspiciousness and delusions (such as believing that their
caregiver is an impostor)or compulsive, repetitive behavior like
hand-wringing or tissue shredding
- Tend to wander or become lost
Stage 7: Very severe cognitive decline (Severe or late-stage
Alzheimer's disease)
In the final stage of this disease, individuals lose the ability to respond
to their environment, to carry on a conversation and, eventually, to
control movement. They may still say words or phrases.
At this stage, individuals need help with much of their daily personal
care, including eating or using the toilet. They may also lose the ability
to smile, to sit without support and to hold their heads up. Reflexes
become abnormal. Muscles grow rigid. Swallowing impaired.
6. Diagnostic Test
a. Neuropathology
It’s generally obtained a bilateral atrophy, symmetrical, often heary
brain revolves about 1000 gr.
b. Neuropsychology
To assess the presence of dysfunction of general cognitive and to
know the detail of pattern of deficit. Also aims to assess the function
of some parts of the brain such as memory, loss of expression,
calculation, attention, and understanding language.
c. CT Scan, MRI, EEG, PET, SPECT
d. CBC, urinalysis, electrolyte serum, Ca2+, liver function.
e. Lumbal punction
f. Genetic screening
7. Implementation
FDA-approved treatments:
Two types of drugs are currently approved by the U.S Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cognitive symptoms of
Alzheimer’s disease.
1) Cholinesterase inhibitors, are designed to prevent the
breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger important for
memory and learning. By keeping levels of acetylcholine high,
these drugs support communication among nerve cells. They
delay worsening of symptoms for six to 12 months for about half
of those who take them.
Three cholinesterase inhibitors are commonly prescribed:
- Donepezil (Aricept®), approved in 1996 to treat mild-to-
moderate Alzheimer’s, and in 2006 for the severe stage
- Rivastigmine (Exelon®), approved in 2000 for mild-to-
moderate Alzheimer’s
- Galantamine (Razadyne®), approved in 2001 for mild-to-
moderate stages
2) Regulating the activity of glutamate, a different messenger
chemical involved in information processing:
- Memantine (Namenda®), approved in 2003
Memantine is the only currently available drug in this class.
Approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s
disease, memantine may also temporarily delay the
worsening of symptoms for some people.
3) Vitamin E
Doctors sometimes prescribe vitamin E for cognitive symptoms
of Alzheimer’s disease. One large federally funded study
showed that vitamin E slightly delayed loss of ability to carry out
daily activities and placement in residential care.
Scientists think that vitamin E may work because it is an
antioxidant (an-tee-OX-uh-dent), a substance that may protect
cells from certain kinds of chemical wear and tear.
No one should use vitamin E to treat Alzheimer’s disease except
under the supervision of a physician. The doses used in the federal
study were relatively high, and vitamin E can negatively interact
with other medications, including those prescribed to prevent blood
from clotting.

D. Intervention
1) Chronic confusion r.f Alzheimer’s disease
Aims: Maintain or improve concentration, memory, and thought
control.
Expected Outcomes:
- Client will responds to the visual cue and hearing cue.
- Client can have interaction to other people
Intervention and rational:
a. Determine the underlying cause for chronic confusion, as
noted in Related Factors.
Helps to sort out possible causes and likelihood for
improvement, as well as helping to identify potentially
useful interventions and therapies.
b. Review and evaluate responses on diagnostic examinations
(e.g., cognitive, functional capacity, behavior, memory
impairments, reality orientation, attention span, quality of life).
A combinationof tests (e.g., Confusion Assessment
Method [CAM], Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE],
Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale [ADAS-cog], Brief
Dementia Severity RatingScale [BDSRS],
Neuropsychiatric Inventory [NPI], Functional Assessment
Questionnaire [FAQ], Clinical Global Impression of
Change [CGIC]) is often needed to complete an
evaluationof client’s overall condition relating to chronic or
irreversible condition.
c. Monitor for treatable condition
That may contribute to or execrable distress, discomfort,
and agitation
2) Wandering r.f cognitive impairment
a. Review responses of collaborative diagnostic examinations
A combination is often needed to complete an evaluation
of client’s overall.
b. Determine presence of depression
Research support the idea that wandering develops more
often in depression client with AD.
c. Identify client’s reason for wandering if possible
d. Determine bowel and bladder elimination pattern, timing of
incontinence
For possible colleration to wandering behaviour.
e. Monitor activity when hospitalized or admitted to facility
3) Self care deficit r.f cognitive disorder
a. Allow sufficient time for dressing and undressing
Because tasks may be tiring, painful, and difficult to
complete.
To allow for easier manipulation of clothing.
b. Teach to dress affected side first, then unaffected side
4) Caregiver role strain r.f cognitive problem of receiver
a. Inqure about and observe physical condition of care receiver
and surroundings as appropriate.
Important to determine factors that may indicate problems
that can interfere with ability to continue caregiving.
b. Assess caregivers current state of function
Provides basis for determining needs that indicate
caregiver is having difficulty dealing with role.
c. Note presence of high situations
Elderly client with total self care dependence due to
physical condition or developmental delays may
necessitate role reversal resulting in addedstress or
placing excessive demands on parenting skills
