Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -People with Alzheimer’s have trouble doing everyday things like driving a car, cooking a meal, or paying bills. They may ask the same questions over and over, get lost easily, lose things or put them in odd places, and find even simple things confusing.

Detailed explanation-2: -We all inherit a copy of some form of APOE from each parent. Those who inherit one copy of APOE-e4 from their mother or father have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Those who inherit two copies from their mother and father have an even higher risk, but not a certainty.

Detailed explanation-3: -If both of your parents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you are at increased risk of developing the disease as well.

Detailed explanation-4: -Keep things simple. Have a daily routine, so the person knows when certain things will happen. Reassure the person that he or she is safe and you are there to help. Focus on his or her feelings rather than words. Don’t argue or try to reason with the person. Try not to show your frustration or anger. More items •5 days ago
