A client with a long history of cigarette smoking and poorly controlled hypertension has experienced recent psychomotor deficits as a result of hemorrhagic brain damage. The client's psychomotor deficits are likely the result of:
A) Alzheimer disease
B) Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)
C) Vascular dementia
D) Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
Ans: C
Feedback:
Vascular dementia is caused by brain injury resulting from ischemic or hemorrhagic damage. Smoking and hypertension are contributing factors, and slowness in psychomotor functioning is a main clinical feature of vascular dementia. The client's history and symptomatology are not characteristic of Alzheimer disease, FTD, or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
