The nurse is caring for a patient with dementia due to Alzheimer disease. What is the nurse's best understanding of the etiology of this disease?
1. A presence of eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the cortex and brain stem results in impaired cognitive function. 2. An infectious form of a normally harmless type of protein, called a prion, interferes with neuronal health, leading to dementia. 3. Multiple vascular lesions occur in the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures, resulting from the decreased blood supply to the brain, lead to a decline in cognitive function. 4. A buildup of beta amyloid plaques and tangled strands of tau protein interferes with neuronal health, communication, and transport functions, leading to dementia.
