EMMA L CROSS 4-30-04 office
This is an elderly woman and I was asked to render an oplnlon concerning her decision mal(ing
capacity. This is an elderly woman who carries a diagnosis Ol'Alzhelmer's disease. ,She was first
diagnosed about 4-5 years ago, et that time she was experiencing mainly memory loss but her
disease continued to progress. She eventually developed problems with executive function'
including ability to maintain the household, do the cooking, do the laundry. She then progressed
to impairment of her ADL's with difficulty bathing and dressing and has progressed to the point of
incontinence. Her speech has actually deteriorated progressively and currently is fluent but for the
most part' is empty of contenL She was living with her husband who was caring.for her up until
last Thanksgiving when she was diagnosed with a mild stroke an~l was hospitalized and after that
hospitalization was admitted to Manor Care. The husband who was. her Power of Attomey. ha,~
since passed away and she currently has no Power of Attorney and is really unable to sign a
Power of Attorney at this time hence the son is pursuing guardianship,
The patient is currently residing at Leader, Her appetite is mostly liquids but she is taking
nutritional supplements. Her weight had dropped but apparently it is fairly stable at about 75 lbs.
She is somewhat emotionally labile, sometimes seems pleasant and happy, other times she is
cheerful and other times is agitated and will sometimes resist assistance with her personal care.
Past. medical history:. $ignif'mant for hypertension. H/storyo' f'a~al'fibdila[ion. Gait'drsorder.
She has a history of a stroke.
Her current medications are Aricept 10 ms. at bedtime, B12 t000 mcg. q month, Lis~oprel 10
ms. daily, Lopressor 45 ms. bid, Norvasc 5 mS. daily.
Social History: Currently is notamoking or drinidng. She maide.¢ at Mattor Care.
Review of Systems: No fevers, chills or sweats. ENT - she apparently does not have any PND.
Cardiopulmonary - there is no reports of shortness of breath or chest pain. Gl - no reports o[
constipation or diarrhea or abdominal pain, GU - she is incontinent of urine,
O: Blood pressure was 118/78, pulse is 92, respirations 16 and unlabored. Her pupils were
myotJc. E~traocular muscles were grossly intact. Her neck was supple. Thyroid was not
palpable. Chest was clear to percussion and auscultation. Cardiac exam reveals e non-displaced
PMi with a rrorma/S1 and $2, Herabdomen was soft, non-tender. CN's were infect Motor tone
showed some increased tone particularly in the upper extremities. She moved all four extremities,
She was- able to ambulate with or~ person ass/s~ance. Her speech was I'tueflt t~ur non-senstcal.
She at times had neologisms. The patient could not identify a pen ora watch. She could not
identify her son by his name. She did not know her data of birth. She did not know her. Place of
birth. She could not repeat a simple phrase therefore we were really unable to test her memory.
She was unable to read or write and she was really unable to follow any real simple.commands,
^: I. This p~tient has severe cognitive impairment with a very severe aphasia. Based on the
history this most likely represents Alzheimer's disease, 2. Hyparte ion.
On discussion I feel because of the patient's severe cognitive imps
clecision ;'nrr~ent has very impaired
making capacity to the point that she is unable to manage h er daily affairs including not
on lit frnanciaf But also medicat decisiorm. ! believe she has a progressive disorder which w/Il only
c~ntinue to get worse an~l abe will never regain any abilities to make medical or financial
decisions. LZ/iab

any adjustments in his accounts for the benefit of any beneficiary adversely affected by
any such election.
The foregoing powers may be exercised without Court order.
If my husband, MELVIN G. CROSS, dies or declines, ceases or is unable to
