1. Altered cognitive states are common diagnoses as?: delirium or dementia
depending on the onset, duration, contributing factors, response to intervention,
and progression. It is possible to have both dementia and delirium at the same
time.
2. delirium: an acutely disturbed state of mind that occurs in fever, intoxication,
and other disorders and is characterized by restlessness, illusions, and
incoherence of thought and speech and that usually gets resolved when the
underlying problem is corrected. Examples of factors that may cause delirium in
the older adult are infection, fever, and drug effects.
3. The diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th edition
(DSM-5): is published by the American Psychiatric Association. The DSM-5
provides guidelines for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders.
4. Neurocognitive disorders (NCDs): Include delirium, as well as major NCDs,
mild in NCDs, and their subtypes based on cause. NCDs exist along a
continuum from mild to moderate depending on the severity of impairment.
5. Each of the neurocognitive disorders affects one or more domains of
cognitive function.: These domains are complex attention, executive function,
learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor function, and social
cognition.
6. Complex attention disorders: Complex attention disorders result in difficulty
staying on task and sorting through multiple stimuli.
7. Executive function: allows people to plan, make decisions, carry out plans,
and evaluate activities. Therefore a person with impaired executive function has
difficulty with multitasking and carrying out multiple steps.
8. cognitive impairment: loss of ability to think logically; concentration and
memory are affected.
9. altered cognition: Physiologic factor that frequently hinders effective
communication. These onsets are commonly diagnosed as delirium or dementia
depending on the onset, duration, contributing factors, response to
interventions, and progression.
10. altered mental function: develops suddenly or gradually depending on the
underlying pathology.
11. dementia: a slowly progressive decline in mental abilities, including memory,
thinking, and judgment, that is often accompanied by personality changes.

, NCD.
12. factors that may cause delirium: fever, infection, and drug effects.
13. neurocognitive disorders: acquired (not lifelong) disorders marked by
cognitive deficits; often related to Alzheimer's disease, brain injury or disease,
or substance abuse. In older adults, neurocognitive disorders were formerly
called dementia.
Affects one ore more domains of cognitive function. These domains are complex
attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual-motor
function, and social cognition.
14. executive function: allows people to plan, make decisions, carry out plans, and
evaluate activities. Therefore, a person with impaired executive function has
difficulty with multitasking caring out multiple steps.
15. perceptual-motor disorders: Can affect the ability to perform usual activities,
such as driving a car.
16. social cognition: the processes by which people come to understand others.
Is concerned with recognizing emotions. They may have personality changes
and become insensitive to the feeling of others. These disturbances can be mild
or major. 17. altered cognitive states.: Are commonly diagnosed as delirium
or dementia depending on the onset, duration, contributing factors, response to
intervention, and progression.
18. examples of factors that may cause delirium in the older adult are?:
Infection, fever, and drug effects.
19. complex attention: disorders result in difficulty staying on task and sorting
through multiple stimuli.
20. learning and memory: May affect short term and long term memory, which can
affect all aspects of functioning. A person might forget appointments, leave food
on a hot stove, be unable to dress or shop, or become lost.
21. Language disorders: Can affect the ability to understand or use words.
22. Perceptual-motor dirsorders: can affect the ability to perform usual activities,
such as driving a car. Various defects in vision may be present. S
23. Social cognition: is concerned with recognizing emotions. When social
cognition is disturbed, people may say or do socially inappropriate things. They
may have personality changes and become insensitive to the feelings of others.
These disturbances can be mild or major.
24. Delirium: Is a decline from a person's usual attention and awareness
(orientation to the environment). People with delirium may have difficulty
