6 most common reasons for delirium include:
• cognitive impairment
• sleep deprivation
• immobility
• visual impairments
• hearing impairments
• dehydration.
Aphasia
Which refers to the loss of ability to express & understand
spoken & written language
Apraxia
, Refers to the inability to carry out purposeful movements,
although motor & sensory abilities are intact
Agnosia

and abstracting
Alzheimers disease is associated with three stages:
1.Preclinical Stage
2.Mild-Cognitive Impairment
3.Alzheimer's disease
Preclinical Stage
• There are changes seen in the brain, CSF and blood, however
the person does not demonstrate any symptoms yet.
• This pre-clinical stage can last up to 20 years before symptoms
begin.
