AI Summary
This case study presents a nursing care plan for a 70-year-old male patient residing in a clinical placement facility, suffering from dementia, depression, anxiety, and incontinence, complicated by a history of alcohol and drug abuse. The patient's conditions have led to cognitive impairment, impacting his daily activities, memory, and social interactions. The care plan considers the Free Radicals Theory of aging, linking the patient's history of substance abuse to his deteriorating mental and physical health.
