Answer 1

As her medical assistant, I will tell the physician we need to rule out dementia, most likely Alzheimer’s, given her confusion, mood swings, and trouble with daily tasks. I will help by creating a simple, consistent daily routine she can follow. I will reduce complicated mental tasks, give clear step-by-step instructions, and keep her environment safe and familiar. I will monitor her cognitive function closely and report any important changes to the healthcare team.
