Question

Tina’s 83-year-old great uncle forgets where he is during his yearly check-up. He doesn’t remember if he’s had memory problems before and no family members came to your office with him. List your differential diagnosis. What assessments would you perform?

Answer 1

I would test for either Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease because forgetting things regularly are symptoms of both of these diseases. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

I would evaluate him to see if he falls under the category for Alzheimer's
