Answer to Question 2
D
The nurse assesses the patient for failing memory and incoordination, which are characteristic of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (also known as mad cow disease). This type of dementia began appearing in adults living in the British Isles who reported eating beef from local breeders. The nurse assesses for these qualities because the age of onset is usually around 60 years. This form of dementia progresses rapidly to death; therefore the nurse anticipates that this man will rapidly deteriorate and must be prepared to anticipate changes in motor activities and memory to maintain his safety and to prevent injury.
