Possible Adverse Effect of Diuretics
For intermittent I.V. administration of a loop diuretic, give the drug undiluted at a rate not to exceed 4 mg per minute through a Y-connector, a three-way stopcock, or an intermittent I.V. access device. For a continuous infusion of furosemide, give the drug in normal saline solution or dextrose 5% in water (DsW) at a rate of 5 to 40 mg per hour, using an infusion pump.
Orientation Impairment with Regard to Time and Place
Alzheimer patients who are experiencing impaired orientation with regard to time and place normally lack critical judgment (interpreting physical environments is an abstract function), have varying degrees of memory dysfunction, are confused, have personality changes, and have a loss of language skills.

Family Caregivers and Alzheimer's Diseases
Chronological age is the sole criterion for many social services that may aid the Alzheimer victim. There are indeed a variety of community services for the elderly. While some programs serve only individuals older than a specified age, others may serve the spouse of a person who qualifies. Some senior citizen programs not only directly assist the person afflicted with a chronic dementing illness, but can also be of immense value to family caregivers and other family members.
