2. Patients with neurocognitive disorders experience decline in functioning across the wellness domains, including their ability to manage finances, recognize safety risks, and care for themselves independently. The nurse will assess patients in these areas and provide referrals and plan interventions as appropriate to ensure patients are able to maintain good nutrition and hygiene, take their medications safely, and have the financial resources that they need. Use of the internet is not a priority for assessment.
