When the family of a client who has been diagnosed with a dementia secondary to normal pres-sure ...

When the family of a client who has been diagnosed with a dementia secondary to normal pres-sure hydrocephalus asks the nurse about prognosis, the nurse should reply:

1. Unfortunately the prognosis is for a downhill course ending in death.
2. There will be good days and bad days for the rest of the client's life.
3. The symptoms usually remit after a shunt is inserted to drain fluid.
4. We'll try our very best, but only time will tell how successful we are.
