Abstract
Caring for the patient with AD hospitalized with comorbidities is a nursing challenge. By educating staff, using the PLST model, working with families, and implementing patient-focused care, positive outcomes are not only possible but probable. It is important for staff to work with caregivers in all aspects of care of the patient incorporating the patient's personal and medical historical knowledge into the care plan. Nursing facilities and families can provide a wealth of information, and communication before and after hospitalization maximizes positive outcomes for all concerned.
