Great lecture on neurocognitive decline
By Melanie R. on 04. October 2023 for Introduction: Neurocognitive and Neurodegenerative Disorders (Nursing)

Very engaging. Good explanations. I appreciate the caution to address the people in the way that they want to be addressed and not by terms of endearment like "Honey" or "Sweetie."
