LEARNING) EXAM NEWEST
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED CORRECT
ANSWERS | A+ GRADE 2024-2025

80 year-old Elizabeth has trouble remembering how to use
her DVR and relies on her daughter to occasionally help
her. Is this most likely Alzheimer's Disease or an age-
related change? Correct Answer age-related change

Seventy-year-old Abe thinks that the current year is 1997.
Should his
family be concerned that he might have Alzheimer's
Disease? Correct Answer YES

True or false? Alzheimer's does not affect people who are
in their 40s. Correct Answer FALSE

x heard about his wife's diagnosis of a terminal illness, he
said to the doctor, "Well, what if we really changed her
diet? I mean, remove all trans fats..." Correct Answer
Denial

When diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease, why is it important
to rule out other illnesses? Be specific in your answer,
indicating what other illnesses and disease may mirror
Alzheimer's symptoms. Finally, describe two types of
assessments/tests that should be conducted when making
a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Be sure to mention

,the purpose of each assessment. Correct Answer It is
important to rule out other illnesses because often times
other illnesses may invoke symptoms similar to
Alzheimer's (such as memory loss and behavioral
changes). Alzheimer's disease is a severe disease with
little to no cure whereas other disease's such as
depression may be curable via antidepressants. Some
other illnesses that may mirror Alzheimer's symptoms
include: depression, Parkinson's disease, malnutrition,
substance-induced dementia, or vascular dementia. Two
types of assessments that can be conducted include: a
psychiatrist doing a mental health screening and a
nurse/general practitioner doing a physical health
screening. The purpose of the mental health screening is
so that the psychiatrist can see if the patient is suffering
from Alzheimer's or if the patient may be experiencing
depression. According to the module, the symptoms for
both of these disease's can be similar. The purpose of the
physical health screening is so that the healthcare
provider can once again see if the patient is truly suffering
from Alzheimer's or if the patient is suffering from
malnutrition. Malnutrition can induce similar symptoms to
Alzheimer's.
