When teaching family members to care for the patient with dementia, the nurse must be sure that they understand two important concepts, which are that the patient usually:
1.   forgets things relatively quickly and is usually unable to learn new things.
2.   can remember new tasks but will forget any previously taught tasks.
3.   cannot learn new information but will probably remember anything you ask about the past.
4.   responds well to reality orientation and needs to have a flexible schedule.


This is for my medical nursing class
