The nurses stated that the difficulties in assisting PWD with making AD were a lack of relevant expertise, understanding the AD, and that they were unsure of how to handle conflicting viewpoints within the family. More in-service training and online courses on dementia and AD were required, as well as the creation of health education pamphlets and patient decision aids to help PWD and their families make decisions about AD.
