Abstract:
The appropriate management of medical problems in demented patients plays an important role in maximizing their quality of life. Demented patients present medical problems differently and require treatment strategies that incorporate the strengths and weaknesses of the patients and their caregivers. The goals for treatment must be developed and followed in balance with any plans to limit the treatment because of the dementia.
