Younger adults had greater imply cognitive function score than older adults (p 0.039). When imply cognitive function scores had been compared among the age groups by decisionmaking capacity, there were no significant variations amongst persons with “always capable,” “sometimes capable,” and “incapable” categories of producing decisions. Correlation Between Communication Making Capacities (Table 3) and Decision4.2 have been incapable. As communication capacity declined, so did decisionmaking potential (r 0.499, p 0.00). BPSD and DecisionMaking Capacity (Table 4) Concerning BPSD, 357 persons with dementia (79.eight ) had no less than 1 of 9 symptoms. Among those with decisional capacity, 02 (70.three ) within the “always capable” category and 55 (83.7 ) inside the “sometimes capable” category had BPSD. Amongst these with out decisional capacity, 00 (84.7 ) had BPSD. As they lost decisionmaking capacity, BPSD prevalence grew (p 0.002). Imply BPSD elevated, as decisionmaking capacity declined: .94 (SD 2.24) for “always capable”; 2.35 (SD 2.8) for “sometimes capable”; and 4.26 (SD 3.66) for “incapable.” While persons without the need of decisional capacity within the 85 years and more than age category had additional symptoms (p 0.032), there had been no considerable differences involving decisionmaking capacity and BPSD in the 6574 years and also the 7584 years categories (p 0.75, p 0.22, respectively). More people with BPSD than people that wereOf the 448 persons with dementia, 35 (78.3 ) were generally 
capable of communicating, 69 (5.four ) have been often capable of communicating, and only 28 (six.3 ) were incapable of communicating with other individuals. By combining “always capable” and “sometimes capable,” a majority of men and women with dementia have been classified as somewhat capable to communicate with other people. Of people that had communication capacity, 40.5 have been often capable of producing choices, 45.3 have been at times capable of creating decisions, andDecisionMaking and Communication Capacities of Older Adults with DementiaThe Open Nursing Journal, 204, VolumeTable 3.BPSD had been incapable of making decisions.
