Abstract (1) The purpose of this review is to present knowledge about the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Synthesized research findings about the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions used with patients who have Alzheimer's disease are presented and are followed by a discussion regarding the actions nurses can initiate to enhance functioning and delay institutionalization. While there is a great deal of interest and study of AD treatment, the research is variable and often with small populations. Even so, the results of these studies are promising, as they provide information about the ways AD symptoms can be controlled by medication and other means.
