Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
Both AD and LB rarely occur to persons under the age of 60. Both are characterized by impair-ments in memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior. A distinct difference in the two is that persons with LB will eventually develop motor symptoms, and the use of traditional (typi-cal) antipsychotics (e.g., Haldol) is always contraindicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
A diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease is made based on the presence of the following symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, asymmetric onset, as well as a positive response to levodo-pa. Neither orthostatic hypotension nor progressive decline in cognitive function is one of the diagnostic criteria for PD.
