The nurse's responsibility is to provide support for the spouse as caregivers often bear a high burden when caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's dementia. Assessment and medication administration are also important responsibilities, but finding a long-term care facility may not always be necessary or feasible depending on the client's and family's preferences and resources.
