11) A 78-year-old man is brought to your office by his daughter worried that he often forgets things and sometimes seems lost in familiar places. Now and then, he is grumpy and shouts at his wife. The man’s condition is probably explained by the following:
a)Alzheimer disease
b)Normal aging
c)Pick disease
d)Multi-infarction dementia

I actually dont know the answer. I found it on the general step 1 forum. A few days back, someone who had taken the test put a set of questions, this was in them....

I just read that behavioral changes in alzheimers can be put under the umbrella of 'agitation' http://www.alz.org/AboutAD/Treatment/Behavioral.h...
so I think it is Alzheimer
