title: Unsung heroes.
abstract: This article describes learning modules developed by faculty to assist community health nursing students to care for patients with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. These modules were problem based using the protocol format PACES (Problem Identification, Assessment, Creative Problem Solving, Emphasis and Simplicity) to assist students and caregivers to individualize care planning. Caring theory provided the unifying thread for the project.
