PMHNP Certification Q & A

Confused Older Adult


Listen Later

The PMHNP is asked to evaluate the parent of one of her existing patients. The patient reports that her father, a 78-year-old man who lives alone, has always been in good health. However, last Sunday during breakfast with him he was overtly confused and at first he did not even seem to recognize his daughter. This patient is concerned that her father has Alzheimer’s disease and is amazed because two days prior he was “completely fine.” The PMHNP knows that the most likely cause of this presentation is: 

A. Urinary tract infection 
B. Mild neurocognitive disorder
C. Normal pressure hydrocephalus 
D. Depression
