title: Caring for a man with Alzheimer's disease.
abstract: A disease progresses at varying pace, posing significant problems for care assessment and planning. Nursing care is supplemental to that offered by relatives, challenging the nurse to liaise effectively. Supporting the lay carers is central within the care plan and continues beyond the death of the patient.
