Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Pseudodementia is a term used to describe a condition in which a client has the appearance of dementia, but whose confusion results from depression. Usually, the confusion clears when the depression is treated. It is not uncommon to have symptoms that mimic dementia. Medical intervention and diagnosis can help differentiate between true dementias and dementia-like symptoms. These are conditions that are typically temporary and may be reversed. Examples of temporary conditions include adverse or unexpected responses to medications, metabolic or endocrine problems, nutritional deficiencies, infections, brain tumors, and hypoxia.
