Prerequisites and basic notions

Prerequisites Principles of caring for a person with a chronic degenerative disease: - promoting the patient's autonomy and reducing the risk of disability - promoting self-management of the disease - ensuring continuity of care: transitions, discharge, treatment reconciliation - effects of hospitalization in chronicity and strategies to avoid the "hospitalization syndrome" - understanding the disease trajectory Cognitive processes and management of the main cognitive alterations: The evaluation and management of the main cognitive alterations: - Memory - Language (fluent and non-fluent aphasia) - Perception (Agnosia, spatial and personal hemineglect) - Acute confusional state (Delirium) The person with Deliriun or acute confusional state alteration - Precipitating factors and predisposing factors - Diagnostic criteria (DSM V manual) - Evaluation CAM method - Interventions for symptom management , preventive measures - Restraints Persons suffering from Alzheimer's disease - cognitive deficits: evaluation with the MMSE tool and management (rehabilitation methods) - Non-cognitive behavioral disorders: DICE method evaluation and management of aggression, wandering and hallucinations - Functional deficits: evaluation with scales for BADL, IADL, AADL and management - Specific evaluation scale from both a functional and cognitive point of view BANSS The person affected by Parkinson's disease - Symptoms of Parkinson's disease Motor and non-motor - Evaluation with the Wearing OFF scale (Predictable fluctuations) - Evaluation of disease progression (MDS-UPDRS scale) - Care interventions: management of drug therapy (Levodopa), nutrition. - Management of problems: motor function, dysphagia and sialorrhea The person suffering from type I and type II diabetes mellitus.
