Psychopharmacology Treatment for Alzheimers Disease
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the three treatment options for Mr. Akkad suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Mr. Akkad is a 76-year Iranian patient demonstrating some strange behaviors. The patient has started losing interest in the major religious activities, which is critical for a member of the family. Moreover, he has started abandoning things he uses to take very seriously before, and these things have become sources of amusement and ridicule. Moreover, Mr. Akkad has been forgetting things within the past two years, and the issue seems to be getting worse. After clinical examination, Mr. Akkad scores 18 out of 30 revealing that the patient is suffering from moderate dementia based on his primary deficit in attention, registration, orientation, recall and calculation. However, Decision 1, Decision 2 and Decision 3 options are recommended for the treatment of Mr. Akkad.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the Decision 1, Decision 2 and Decision 3 for the treatment of the patient.

It would therefore be a major breach of ethics for the status of individuals in the study to be leaked. Another ethical challenge would be keeping the status of individuals from their significant others. Women are often in relationships where the power and economic disparities require them to remain in those relationships for mere survival.

Medical Procedures and Ethical Considerations Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT) is a medical study whereby the participants are randomly assigned to groups or team which are then used to compare different treatments. The members of the groups are then subjected to a chosen treatment hence the group members will have similar treatments though different from members of another group.
