Scenario 3: (Antidementia Drugs) – If someone you know has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), would it be a good idea for them to start taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Responses to classmates must consist of at least 350 words (not including the greeting and the references), do NOT repeat the same thing your classmate is saying, try to add something of value like a resource, educational information to give to patients, possible bad outcomes associated with the medicines discussed in the case, try to include a sample case you’ve seen at work and discuss how you feel about how that case was handled. Try to use supportive information such as current Tx guidelines, current research related to the treatment, anything that will enhance learning in the online classroom.

Scenario 3: (Antidementia Drugs) – If someone you know has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), would it be a good idea for them to start taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (Keltner & Steele, 2018, p.198)? Why or why not- support your rationale.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, affecting
Approximately 5% of the population over the age of 65. As the population ages
The social impact of Alzheimer’s disease is becoming more critical.
Reacher studies followed large number of patients for many years to stablish
Normal pattern of aging.
The study found that patients who had taking NSAIDS for more than two years
Had an approximally 60% reduction in the rate of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Once Alzheimer’s Disease is present, studies show that the use of NSAIDS have
Little effect. While Ibuprofen is the most widely used NSAIDS, and less costly.
Scientist have found evidence of inflammation in the brain of patients having
Alzheimer’s Disease and they agree that the use of NSAIDS may reduce inflammation.
Potential Side effects of NSAIDS may include irritation, bleeding and stomach ulcers,
And impair kidney function.
While Aspirin has not been shown to reduce the rate of developing Alzheimer’s, it is
Widely recognized as a protective agent against cardiovascular Disease the second
Most cause of Dementia. Aspirin works to thin the blood reducing clot formation.
Tylenol do not offer benefits to reduce dementia.
As a health care provider, I will used NSAIDS medications to my Alzheimer’s patients,
Monitoring possible side effects, and medical history.
