    The nurse should arrange an immediate home visit with the visiting nurse service and the social worker.

    Carrying for the person with dementia is not that simple, it's even challenging and stressful. Frustration and stress may negatively impact on the health of the client. So, caregiver must be someone calm and stable. Because of that, a person with moderate intellectual disability might not be the most appropriate for this duty.
