In paragraph formation may I have help answering the following
questions? There are two parts. Thank you.

Mrs. J reports, “My husband was okay until about 4
months ago in Arizona when he began having trouble driving. He also
could not recall where he put things and soon after that couldn’t
remember our friends’ names. He got more withdrawn and not very
talkative. I am afraid he might have had a stroke, or worse, he may
have Alzheimer’s disease. What do you think?”

1.What additional information may be helpful for the health care
provider to determine the diagnosis?

2.What are some typical manifestations associated with a
stroke?

Mrs. J says, “I know there are two kinds of strokes, so
if he had one, I sure hope it was the good kind.”

1.What information will provide a basis for the response?

2. What are some typical manifestations associated with
Alzheimer disease?

3. Based on Mr. J’s presenting symptoms, what do you suspect,
and how could this be confirmed?

Mr. J was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, and he was
referred to a neurologist and the couple to a support
group.
