1. Construct a complete differential diagnosis of confusion in the elderly using the mnemonic DEMENTIA and selecting at least one cause.

2. Discuss pharmacological management of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease who have concurrent vascular risk factors.

The responses to these topics should be of a scholarly nature. This means that the student will use references from textbooks or other sources (i.e. medical or nursing journals) to support statements and provide a reference at the end of the response, so others can read further from these sources. The goal is to stimulate further discussion.
