Antonio Renaldi, 78 migrated from Italy in 1955. Antonio worked as a market gardener since his arrival on a 1-hectare site near the highway. His property has recently subdivided and Antonio had been experiencing moderate to severe short-term memory loss. Most recently, Antonio experienced depression, early waking and social withdrawal from his family. Following psychogeriatric assessment including a Mini-mental assessment (score 22/30) and a CT brain, full bloods were taken. After full assessment he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s’ disease. Discuss the following in relation to this case: Outline the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's in Australia and compare this to another country of your choice. Critically discuss the progression of Alzheimer's disease and relate this to undertaking a neurological assessment, for example how the neurological assessment will vary at the different stages of the disease. In relation to the case study discuss the implications to nursing and interprofessional practice when caring for people diagnosed with the varying stages of the condition. Support this discussion with current evidence based literature.
