antipsychotic drugs - CORRECT ANSWERS drugs used to treat schizophrenia and other forms of
severe thought disorder.
haloperidol (Haldol), risperidone (Risperdal), aripiprazole (Abilify), quetiapine Seroquel), and olanzapine
(Zyprexa)
Nonneuroleptics - CORRECT ANSWERS Carbamazepine, sodium valproate, trazodone, and
citalopram.
Mild Neurocognitive Disorder - CORRECT ANSWERS Is a modest decline from one's usual
function in one or more cognitive domains. The individual functions well enough to live independently.
The disorder can be caused by various types of dementia. Behavioral symptoms are agitation, apathy,
sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, an ddelusions.
Mild Neurocognitive disorder - CORRECT ANSWERS neurocognitive disorder in which the
decline in cognitive functioning is modest and does not interfere with the ability to be independent.
Major Neurocognitive disorder - CORRECT ANSWERS neurocognitive disorder in which the
decline in cognitive functioning is substantial and interferes with the ability to be independent.
Dementia - CORRECT ANSWERS is not a disease in itself; it is a clinical syndrome, a collection of
symptoms that occur with many types of diseases. The onset and progression vary with the subtype.
The most prevalent types of dementia are caused by? - CORRECT ANSWERS Alzheimer disease
(AD), vascular disease, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body disease, and Parkinson disease. Other
conditions that are associated with dementia include traumatic brain injury, substance use and
medication effect, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, prion disease, Huntington disease,
and specific or multiple medical condition.
gait disturbance - CORRECT ANSWERS An abnormal way of walking, such as shuffling feet.

Alzheimer's disease - CORRECT ANSWERS Insidious onset. Gradual, steady progression in
cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Decline in memory and learning and at least one other cognitive
domain. Depression and apathy common in early stage. Irritability, agitation, combativeness, delusions,
hallucinations, and wandering may occur in later stages. Final stage marked by gait disturbance,
dysphagia, incontinence, muscle spasm, and possible seizures. Patients become mute and totally
dependent for care.
Frontotemporal lobe degeneration - CORRECT ANSWERS Insidious onset. Progression is gradual
but faster than AD. Two variants (forms) exist: behavioral and language. Behavioral symptoms:
disinhibition, apathy, loss of sympathy or empathy, repeated or compulsive behavior, excessive eating.
Persons with behavioral form also decline in social cognition and executive function. Individuals with
language form decline in speech production, word finding, object naming, grammar, or word
comprehension.
Lewy body disease - CORRECT ANSWERS Insidious onset and gradual progression. Often seen
with AD or vascular disease. Attention and awareness fluctuates. May have auditory hallucinations,
orthostatic hypotension, and incontinence. Repeated falls and syncope (fainting) are common, as are
Parkinson symptoms (tremor, slow movement, shuffling gait). Cognitive symptoms appear about the
same time as motor symptoms. Patients are very sensitive to antipsychotic drugs.
Vascular disease - CORRECT ANSWERS Onset is related to a cerebrovascular event. Primary
decline is in complex attention and executive function. Personality and mood changes, depression,
emotional lability and psychomotor slowing are common
Parkinson disease - CORRECT ANSWERS Insidious onset and gradual progression. Established
diagnosis of Parkinson disease. May have apathy, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, delusions,
personality changes. REM sleep behavior disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
the cause of AD - CORRECT ANSWERS Unknown
Several risk factors have been associated with development of AD, but specific roles of risk factors in
disease process are not known.
