You are Mavis, an 84-year-old woman, being

You are Mavis, an 84-year-old woman, being referred to a memory clinic for assessment of your memory impairment. You attend in the company of your son and daughter-in-law. They are concerned that you may have dementia. You are sure they are wrong and being bossy, but you agree to go along anyway. You had a recent stay in the hospital for pneumonia, and ever since you got home you’ve been withdrawn and usually sleepy. You haven’t had much energy to cook and tend to stay in bed most of the day. You’ve had to rely on your son and daughter-in-law for more help around the house since you just don’t have the energy. Since, they’ve been coming over, they have noticed that over the last several weeks, that you have displayed disorganized thinking, memory impairments (you keep misplacing your wallet and it turns up in the freezer every time), you are not paying attention when they try to discuss their concerns with you, you are having issues sleeping, and you did forget to pay your internet bill. Questions: 1. Based, on the information provided, do you believe that you have dementia? If not, what could be an alternative explanation. 2. What are common causes of disorientation/delirium and what ones are most likely impacting you? 3. You privately admit to yourself that have noticed some of your “deficits”, but you’re afraid to mention this to your son because he will just bring up how you shouldn’t be driving anymore. What else might you be feeling? What would be the impact of you giving up your license? 4. Following the memory clinic for assessment, the physician recommended a geriatric assessment What other interventions could be recommended for you? What two do you think will benefit you
