These foods, and many others, like tomatoes, peppers, and others found their way to Europe and were introduced to European tables. Weatherford writes, "The monarchs and Adam Smith knew what the peasants would soon learn: a field of potatoes produces more food and more nutrition more readily and with less labor than the same field planted in grain" (Weatherford 67)
It was concluded that the diagnosis of YOD has a great impact on spouses, considered as worries of dependency, concern and a greater level of depression, particularly in the spouses of those with front temporal lobar degeneration. The Impact of Early Dementia Diagnosis and Intervention on Informal Caregivers (de Vugt and Verhey, 2013)
The caregivers had significantly lower levels of satisfaction and quality of life, leading for the researchers to urge for stronger support mechanisms for them and greater education as to how their burden and responsibilities can be alleviated. "Quality of Life and Depression in Carers of Patients with Early Onset Dementia" (Rosness et al
, 2010). "Caregivers' perspectives on the pre-diagnostic period in early onset dementia: a long and winding road" (van Vliet et al

Unlicensed Caregiver Experience in Dementia Care Dementia Care Nearly 5.4 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia (Chodosh et al
The health care burden this places on nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospices is significant, especially since some dementia sufferers exhibit disruptive and sometimes dangerous behaviors. These behaviors include verbal and physical aggression, wandering, restlessness, insomnia, irritability, and repetitive vocalizations (McKenzie, Teri, Pike, LaFazia, and van Leynseele, 2012, p
In essence, the more frequent the behaviors are encountered the more negative the caregiver will perceive their experience, with behaviors related to depression triggering the biggest reactions. The authors of this study selected a specific question to answer and provided the theoretical context for why this question is important enough to spend research dollars on (Ragin, Nagel, and White, 2004, p
In the movie, Columbus did offer a bounty to the first sailor who sighted land, but in reality when he returned to Spain he claimed it for himself. Indeed, he wrote an entire book asserting that he was not adequately rewarded for his conquests and never his full 10% of the profits as originally promised (Morison 1974)

What is the author's thesis, main point? The thesis is expressed in a sentence or two, usually in the first paragraphs of the book's introduction. The main point in Indian Givers was to integrate "the Native peoples of North and South America into the mainstream of world history" (Weatherford, 1988/2010, p
uk). Interventions for three issues reflected in this paper One: As to a possible intervention for "One" in this paper, the European Journal of Neurology suggests that "…the social costs for hospice care are lower than conventional therapies" (Congedo, et al
The government decides who they marry, how many children they can have, and even if they marry or not. The author writes, "Most of the people on the night crew had not been given spouses because they lacked, somehow, the essential capacity to connect to others, which was required for the creation of a family unit" (Lowry 8)
Most caregivers in the United States tend to be female (60-75%), and there are about 50 million people directly involved in the field, with 30% aged 65 of older. It is also interesting to note that "free" caregiving services provide over $300 billion in aid, more than twice as much as is actually spent on homecare and nursing home services in total (Aliiance, 2010l; Caregiving Statistics, 2010)
This idea of berevement care can be as simple as cognitive therapy, but findings show that preloss caregiving therapy has higher levels of benefit towards any postloss symptomology. It eases the burden of loss, places more contex in the process, and has a number of positive outcomes for those associated with loss (Boerner, Schulz and Horowitz, 2004)
By the very nature, caregivers know that the person they are caring for is seriously ill, many on the final stages of their life. Nevertheless, the grief experienced at the demise of a patient, loved-one, or even client is palpable for a caregiver, often moreso because it happens on a fairly regular basis (Davidson, 2002)
Second, the caregiver's needs prior to, during, and after the death-event should never be minimzed or ignored. The more supportive mechanisms available, the easier it is for caregivers to return to a semblance of productivity and normalcy within their lives (Doka, 2002)
However, an important difference is that the period of mourning begins before death occurs, and while contact and communication with the dying person is still a viable option. Because of this, there are additional emotions involved; hope, nostalgia, kindness, tenderness, and opportunity for closure (Fulton, 2003)
Research finds that it is imperative that berevement support is integral to service, yet it remains one of the most marginalized elements of modern care. Nurses have a significant role in berevement care, and the entire context of care model should include a significant level of not only grief counseling, but true berevement therapy and support (Holtslander, 2008)
Despite this trauma, most caregivers perceive that they are coping fairly well- under the circumstances. There does seem, however, to be a significant correlation between the quality of information and support services extended to the carefiver prior to and after the demise of the patient, and the caregiver's ability to process the grief and move on with their own lives (Hudson, 2006)
