People with dementia often have significant care needs and it is important that the condition is diagnosed even at an advanced stage. This will enable nurses to predict the person's care needs, develop appropriate care plans and arrange pre-emptive decisions. In 2021-22, a quality improvement project took place in care homes in West Norfolk. This project piloted an abbreviated memory assessment model based on the Diagnosing Advanced Dementia Mandate (DiADeM) tool to increase the rate of diagnoses among residents showing signs and symptoms of cognitive impairment but not formally diagnosed with dementia. Out of 109 residents assessed, 95 were diagnosed with dementia.

It is the nurse's role to decide if and when to administer antipsychotic medicines that have been prescribed on an as required basis. This decision-making is underpinned by complex ethical considerations such as mental capacity, chemical restraint, quality of life and autonomy. Adopting a person-centred approach and considering the ethics, guidelines and legislation related to such decisions can support nurses to act in patients' best interests. This article uses two ethical frameworks - the four principles of biomedical ethics and the 'four quadrants' approach - to examine this complex issue and to demonstrate their use in the context of ethical decision-making in nursing practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":35589,"journal":{"name":"Nursing older people","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9432340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
