Aging is a natural biological process experienced by all living things and can cause damage to muscles, the nervous system, and other body tissues. One consequence is memory impairment, which is the brain's difficulty in remembering, storing, and processing information. This case study aims to evaluate the implementation of nursing care for an elderly person with memory impairment.
Nursing care for this elderly person with memory impairment was provided in March 2025 for five consecutive days in the Tresna Werdha Social Care Unit (UPT) Magetan. The nursing process was carried out using a systematic approach according to the stages of the nursing process.
The assessment results indicated that Mrs. K, an 85-year-old elderly person, was experiencing age-related memory decline. Symptoms included difficulty telling time and remembering the names of people she had just met, along with confusion during interactions. The nursing diagnosis was memory impairment. Interventions provided included memory training and cognitive stimulation. Evaluation showed improvement, although not yet a full recovery.
With ongoing nursing care, it is hoped that the client will be able to recall basic information such as the day, date, year, and the names of people she has just met. This gives clients a greater opportunity to manage and prevent worsening of memory impairment in the future..
