Personal Details
Patients with dementia disease.
A disease that affects the brain cells. Patient suffering from this disease should be cared for well by hospital nurses and family nurses. The patient chosen is a female 79 years called Marjorie. She is suspected to be suffering from dementia disease. The research is supposed to focus on the best treatment method for her.
Documenting the literature on the dementia disease is very vital. Firstly, it creates an avenue for the development of further literatures. It provides a basis where one can begin their research from when doing research about the patient and the disease (Fain 2017). Instead of beginning from our research it is easier to find the documented journals and conduct a research from the same. Documenting research journals can be used for authenticity for the research. It is easier to prove that research is legit, if there are other people who have written about the same especially nursing research that has proven vital for further research. Documented research journals act as interact site for experts who have written about the same world case. (LoBiondo-Wood and Haber 2017)
For the case of dementia disease there are doctors who have written about the disease. It is easier to collect their opinions when their journals are documented and made easy to access. There is also increased and easy accessibility of documented research during the actual research that might take place later after the documented time (Moule, Aveyard and Goodman 2016).
There can be easy corroborating for journals that have been documented. The journals can be used for impacting on different information collected through various methods but refer to the same thing. The documented studies therefore examine information when they are documented (Vom Brocke, Simons, Riemer, Niehaves, Plattfaut and Cleven 2015).
The process of documentation or triangulating as is referred to sometimes provides a confluence for very many evidences of one thing. It is easier to draw conclusion when we have very many documented analyses that supports the underlying information (Booth, Sutton and Papaioannou 2016)
The documentation of journals therefore also reduces bias. Several journals use different methods in acquiring information. The information can be challenged by another journal that used a different perspective. These perspectives of the documented journals can be compared and the one with a lot of biasness limited. Therefore, the one which is biased can be limited in its use during the research although its important elements can be used for furthering the research (Thelwall, and Kousha 2015.).
Family/Significant Others
(100 words) The research is focused on how patients with dementia disease can be treated and taken care of. Since there are not many patients who have been recorded suffering from the dementia disease that infect the brain cells. There are not many doctors that have discovered how the dementia disease patients can be taken care of, so that they don’t take frequent attack of their disease, even when they are under normal medicine treatment. The disease has different modes of treatments. Oral medication, radiation and surgery. These three are methods used for treating dementia. The research therefore focuses on of the three treatments which one is the most appropriate in terms of costs, efficiency and less life threatening (Parahoo 2014).

Masoumi J, Abbasloui M, Parvan R, Mohammadnejad D, Pavon-Djavid G, Barzegari A, Abdolalizadeh J. Neuropeptides. 2018 May 23. pii: S0143-4179(18)30048-9. doi: 10.1016/j.npep.2018.05.008 |
One of the best journals found on the treatment and prevention of the dementia disease by different authors. The information is reliable since it’s up to date, having been dated May 2018 and done by a known doctor. The information in the journal is reliable since it is consistent from basing most its arguments on previous case study and scientific proof. |

The literature is reliable because it focuses on the treatment measures of the disease and not anything else. The journal also gives step by step the various methods of treatment making the treatment as realistic as possible. The journal is reliable since it remains consistent with the treatment information that is provided inside it. 30 |

The journal gives optional ways of treating dementia. It is valid since it is published by one of the doctors. The treatment in the journal is based on facts from research and science findings. |

The journal is reliable since apart from being used by nurses and doctors it can also be used with family of one suffering from dementia. The examples from the journal are based on examples from home based care patients. The observations even involve the patients themselves. |
Conclusion
The search is the best for finding nursing journal and literature articles. These is because of the various diversity it creates in finding academic journals. The process has given me the exposure to various medical libraries. These medical libraries provide journals that are authentic in searching for any journals that can be used for research and other academic purposes. The experience also expands the ability to reach so many sources within a short span of time. A simple search gives access to over 3000 literatures on one topic. It makes it easier to choose since there are many options to choose from the ones that can be relevant for treatment of dementia disease research (Machi and McEvoy 2016).
The search also makes it easily accessible, since by just a word limit of five words, one can access up to several other topics that are not related to the same. These widens to wider schemes that can be used for the analyses of the research. It therefore does not limit to treatment but also prevention of dementia disease. The use of medical library makes it the sources relevant. The relevant articles that are medical therefore makes the research error free and removes un necessary bias about an opinion that one might have been there to research for dementia. These is even made easier by the help of the search process (Nieswiadomy and Bailey 2017).
The research articles that are collected might help predict the fields that have many articles. For instance, there are so many literatures that have been done on the prevention of dementia disease. It therefore provides us with the idea of another related field, that has not been exploited so much so that we can exploit. For our case, the treatment has not been exploited so much, it is therefore easier to exploit this source than all the other sources. These therefore provides us with the platform for furthering our research on the dementia disease (Paré,Trudel, Jaana and Kitsiou 2015).
