Discussion: Diagnosing Neurological Disorders
As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely observe
patients who experience neurological disorders. Challenging to the diagnosis of
neurological disorders is the realization that many manifestations of disease
may not be overt physically.
For this Discussion, consider the following three case
studies of patients presenting with neurological disorders.
Case Study 1
80-year-old male Caucasian male brought to the clinic by his
wife concerned about his “memory problems”. Per the wife, she has noticed his
memory declining but has never interfered with his daily activities until now.
He is unable to remember his appointments and heavily relies on written notes
for reminder. Just last week, he got lost driving and was not found by his
family until 8 hours later. He is unable to use his cell phone or recall his
home address or phone number. He has become a “hermit” per his wife. He has
withdrawn from participating with church activities and has become less
attentive.
