Question

In the following scenario, who is most correct about Marcia's condition and what she needs?

Marcia's children are discussing whether Marcia is developing dementia and how to deal with the situation. Marcia has short-term memory problems. Her judgment also seems poor at times. Marcia's daughter, Vicky, says she cannot have dementia because she can tell such vivid stories about her childhood.

Marcia's other children think she does have it. Davey feels strongly that she should be evaluated by a doctor. Beatrice says that's a bad idea; if it Alzheimer's, it is incurable, and it would only make Marcia unhappy to have a diagnosis. Chloe is also against urging Marcia to go to the doctor. She says the best treatment for early-stage dementia is good nutrition and an active lifestyle, and they don't need a diagnosis to help provide those things.

Davey
Vicky
Beatrice
Chloe

Answer 1

I would say vicky

Step-by-step explanation:

Its normal to be forgetful when you get older, but the fact that she vividly remembers her childhood is good evidence that she doesn't have dementia.

sorry if this is wrong but that would be my best guess.

Answer 2

I would say Davey would be correct! If they are suspicious that she has dementia then they should take Maria to the doctor to see if that’s what it is and get her the care she needs.
