Answer to Question 1

A
Reporting significant life events with little emotional response suggests a blunted or flattened affect. Lability refers to swift shifts in affect. Congruent affect is appropriate emotional expression for the current circumstances. Elation is an exaggerated display of happiness. The patient is not showing fear or anxiety, which would be appropriate in this case, nor is the patient displaying exaggerated happiness, which would be inappropriate under the circumstances.

Answer to Question 2

D
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease has the shortest time span from onset of symptoms to death than vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or alcoholic dementia. The span for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is 6 to 12 months.
