An elderly client with severe cardiovascular disease is given the diagnosis of dementia. Which type of dementia does the client most likely have?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Frontal (frontotemporal) dementia affects personality and behavior, not directly tied to cardiovascular issues. Lewy body dementia involves protein deposits and symptoms like hallucinations, not primarily cardiovascular-related. AlzheimerÔÇÖs is common but linked to neurodegenerative changes, not specifically cardiovascular disease. Vascular dementia results from impaired blood flow to the brain, often due to cardiovascular conditions, making it the most likely here.
