Section Two: Reasons for choosing this project
The major reason underlying behind the selection of the topic of role of nurse in dementia care is that
dementia is a very growing and increasing disease. Thus, it is very essential for the people to get aware
about the symptoms of the disease and how the nurses and health care staff can assist the patient in dealing
with the diseases. Another major reason is the personal interest of the researcher as they wanted to gain
knowledge relating to the role of nurses within the curing of disease dementia.
Section Three: Precedents and Sources
As per the views of Evans, Harrison-Dening and Read (2018) the dementia is a disease or a collective term
which is used to describe the different symptoms like cognitive decline of memory or forgetfulness. This is
a disease which include symptom of brain disorder and other related brain disease. This is not a single
disease as this includes many other problems related with the mind and brain like thinking problems,
impairment within the memory, communication problems and many others. When the person is suffering
from dementia then there are many symptoms and some symptoms may be seen and witnessed by the
patient themselves. But some signs are being highlighted by the doctors and the nurses and the healthcare
workers. The possible and most common symptoms are like recent loss of memory, problem and difficulty

being faced in completion of familiar task, disorientation, changes in mood and many other changes and
symptoms.
But in contrast to this Lee, Chaudhury and Hung (2016) argues that the nurses and the health care
workers can easily assist in management of the patient suffering from dementia. This is majorly because of
the reason that the nurses and the health care workers are having proper knowledge and application of the
knowledge in proper and effective manner. Thus, this will assist them in managing and taking care of the
patient suffering from the disease of dementia. The major role of nurses in curing dementia is that they
provide care and support to the patient which is the most essential thing in the curing of the dementia. This
is particularly because of the reason that the nurses know that how they have to take care of the patient and
how they can make the sufferer feel comfortable. In addition to this another major reason for the
importance of role of the nurse in curing of the patients suffering from the dementia.
