This book helps nurses and nursing professionals incorporate a person-centered approach in their usual nursing care while addressing the unique needs of people who have dementia. The basic premise is that although the short-term nature of the care setting focuses on nursing interventions for the immediate medical problems, nurses have numerous opportunities to incorporate dementia-specific interventions in care plans.
