INTRODUCTION
This paper is prepared based on a case study of Mr. Jack B, who has been undergone
a repair in the femur neck joint and after discharge is not coping well. This paper discusses
the conclusions drawn from the case study, manifestation and impact of Alzheimer’s, health
literacy issues, priorities and risks of Mr. B, strategies to support him, available in-hospital
and community centers, follow up care, and nursing interventions to make his conditions
better.
DISCUSSION
CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM THE CASE STUDY
From the case study, it can be concluded that Mr. B is suffering from multiple mental
issues. He was suffering from depression from before, and it is gradually getting more
chronic, which is evident from his activities like refusal to talk to anyone, not visiting the
church anymore, and also thinks as himself being a burden on his daughter. Apart from that,
he is getting increasingly isolated from society, which is proven by the fact he does not want
to visit the senior community center where he ill-behaved and the doctor as well. He is also
getting agitated all of a sudden about insignificant things. All these attributes of Mr. B hint
towards an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s Disease and Clinical Depression, and he might be
suffering from both these diseases.
MANIFESTATIONS AND IMPACTS OF ALZHEIMER’S
The clinical manifestations of Alzheimer’s include poor memory, lack of ability to
take spontaneous decisions, repeating the same questions, lack of the ability to handle money,
forgetting about various things, increase in the anxiety level and spontaneous change in mood
(National Institute on Aging, 2020).
