D. Actions taken

The objectives of
teaching chronic
illness:
-To distinguish
the symptoms
and signs of
Alzheimer’s.
-To demonstrate
the ability to
perform
treatment for
Alzheimer’s.
The objective of
the teaching plan
is to clearly
define the
symptoms and
signs of chronic
disease and the
provision of
appropriate
treatments to
cure the disease.
A presentation is
prepared that
contains chronic
disease signs and
symptoms
(McKhann, et al.,
2011). The
presentation
includes pre-
dementia
information,
cause, signs,
symptoms,
pathophysiology,
diagnosis, and
prevention of
Alzheimer’s
(Spinney, 2014).
The teaching
strategy includes
knowledge about
chronic illness.

The client needs
to identify
symptoms and
signs with the
rating system on
a scale of 0-10. If
the score is 0, the
confidence is
low, if the score
is 10, there is
complete
confidence in
working while
identifying the
signs and
symptoms of the
disease.
The rating
method is to
ensure that
nurses are aware
of the concepts
and topics that
are discussed.

symptoms of

Canada has the
highest
interaction
between nurse
and patient due
to chronic
diseases like
Diabetes,
Alzheimer’s, etc.
It is important
that the experts
in chronic illness
treatments focus
on attaining
goals while
identifying the
disease and help
prevent the same
with medications
and treatments
(Bateman, et al.,
2012).
Implementing
effective plans
helps to curtail
the knowledge of
the cost burdens
and helps to
manage chronic
scale from 0-10,
with 10 being the
highest score that
determines
complete
awareness of
diagnosing the
signs and
symptoms of
Alzheimer’s and
having complete
confidence in
treating the
disease, which is
a challenging and
a critical
situation that
new nurses face
in health care
systems.

diseases. A
critical challenge
is to administer
and diagnose the
disease in case of
signs and
symptoms
(Imbimbo, et al.,
2012).
Public and
community
health nurses
must be provided
with adequate
education and
training to
identify and
prevent chronic
illnesses in
Canada. Nurses
and educators
must be aware of
the aspects of
disease
prevention and
health promotion
strategies.
The teaching
plan is for nurses
treating chronic
illnesses in

Canada. The
topic of
Alzheimer’s
disease and the
related concepts
are discussed in
the teaching plan.
The main
discussion is on
the definition of
Alzheimer’s,
signs, symptoms,
actions to be
taken for
preventing the
disease, etc.
(Holtzman, Herz
& Bu, 2012).
The teaching
strategy used is a
10-minute long
presentation,
which includes
all important
points about
Alzheimer’s and
its prevention
strategy (Ward,
Tardiff, Dye &
Arrighi, 2013).
