COMPLETE SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE
Insulin.
- Pancreatic hormone necessary for the metabolism of glucose.
Insulin independence
- ability of client's own naturally produced insulin to regulate blood glucose levels within
consistently normal ranges.
Insulin resistance
- decreased sensitivity to insulin at the tissue level
Insulin : type 1
no insulin is produced
Insulin : type 2
not enough insulin
Hypoglycemia
low level of sugar in the blood
Hyperglycemia
is an increased level of sugar in the blood
Alzheimer's disease: early stage
mild impairment, short term memory loss and depression
,Alzheimer's disease: middle stage
increased need for assistance with ADL's (Activities of daily living and IADL's
(instrumental activities of daily living)
Alzheimer's disease
Late Stage
24-hour care is required, unable to communicate or look after themselves
What are characteristics of vascular?
Vascular Dementia is caused by small cerebral infarctions. Brain damage may be local
or systemic, the onset is more rapid, and the disease progresses more predictably
onset of cognitive deficits associated with stroke
- abrupt onset of signs and symptoms
- infarctions are seen on cerebral imaging
caused by damage to the brain from small infarctions
caused by circulatory problems with insufficient blood flow and oxygen reaching the
brain
Risk factors include
- smoking - vasoconstriction constricts the flow of blood to the brain
- hypertension
- hyperlipidemia - atherosclerosis causes narrowed blood flow to brain
, - inactivity
- history of stoke or cardiovascular disease
What is dementia?
Dementia is an irreversible, progressive impairment in cognitive function, affecting
- memory
- orientation
- judgement
- reasoning
- attention span
- language and problem-solving skills
Signs and Symptoms of dementia
Signs and Symptoms
- decline in memory, reasoning, and communication
- changes in behavior
- loss of skills (ADL's and IADL's)
- movement difficulties
What is front temporal dementia?
Dementia is an irreversible, progressive impairment in cognitive function, affecting
- memory
- orientation
- judgement
- reasoning
- attention span
