The nurse is assessing an elderly client for dementia. Which of the following is a primary symptom of dementia
A. Neurosis.
B. Loss of impulse control.
C. Psychosis.
D. Memory loss.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：Memory loss is the primary symptom of dementia. Loss of short-term memory (retaining new information) is more prominent, but tong-term memory (recollection of events that occurred in the past) may also be affected. Psychosis, neurosis, and loss of impulse control aren’t symptoms of dementia.
