Hey everyone...if you could please help me answer the following questions that I got wrong on the Neuro Form 1....
1) A previously healthy 62 year old man is brought to the physician by his wife because of confusion for 3 hrs. During breakfast, he stopped eating and asked his wife the day's date and plans for the day. He repeated his questions six times despite receiving the correct information from his wife each time. He is now oriented and clear in thinking. He doesn't recall any aspect of the morning since breakfast. Physical and mental status exam show no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A) Communicating hydrocephalus
B) Concussion
C) Dementia, Alzheimer's
D) Herpes Simplex Encephalitis
E) Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
F) Hysterical amnesia
G) Transient global amnesia
H) Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
2) An unkempt 49 year old man is brought to ED in a confused and lethargic state. No history is obtainable. The sclera are icteric. When his arms are held extended irregular lapses of postural tone are observed. Test of stool for occult blood is positive.
