, Residents with Alzheimer's disease or dementia often lack the ability to explain
physical needs, problems or discomfort. When the resident is in pain, the staff may
observe the resident becoming more restless. A resident who has to use the
bathroom may say "my tummy hurts" when the resident's mind no longer
recognizes the meaning of body signs such as a full bladder. The resident's
behavior may hold clues that the nurse aide should pay attention to. A resident
rubbing his stomach could be a sign of a number of different things: hunger,
nausea, the need to urinate or have a bowel movement. There could also be a
serious health problem.
