Are there similarities of alzheimer's and parkinson's diseases?
Huntington's disease, also called Huntington's chorea, chorea major, or HD, is an inherited genetic neurological disorder characterized by abnormally uncoordinated, jerky body movements called chorea and a decline in some mental abilities, which can lead to affected aspects of behavior. As the disorder progresses, it can cause complications that significantly reduce life expectancy. Parkinson's disease (also known as Parkinson disease or PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills and speech, as well as other functions. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement (bradykinesia) and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement (akinesia). It is chronic and progressive. It can be primary or secondary to an injury.
Sinus rhythm with first degree AV block?
Any EKG should be thought of as a picture that directly represents electrical activity in the heart, which is causing physical or mechanical activity that can't be seen on the strip.
Sinus rhythms show up as P-waves, so this strip would have P-waves present. Normal P-waves face upward toward positive polarity. These sinus rhythms originate in the sinoatrial node (SA).
AV block means that the signal is not reaching the Atrioventricular node (AV). This shows up as an increase in the length & time between the P-wave and the R-wave.
The problem here is that due to something interfering with the electrical signal, the herat's ventricles are not pumping at the right time. This can be because of electrolyte imbalance (not enough or too much calcium, potassium and so forth), damaged heart muscle from myocardial infarction (heart attack), or due to medication side effects (especially heart medications like calcium channel blockers.

What activities can help someone who has Alzheimer's disease?
As you probably know, there is no known cure Alzheimer's disease. But, one of the first things I would do, would be:
A) Bring pictures of the person or pictures of the family and go attempt to go over them every day (if possible.)
B) Maybe, make some flash cards with names of their friends or family and ask them if they know who it is, with a picture of them (if possible.)
C) Ask the doctor if they know any others things to do.
Good Luck!
