Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing lack of sleep, lack of appetite, and difficulties with concentration. Which of the following types of dementia should the nurse expect this client to have?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prion disease. Prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, can cause rapid cognitive decline leading to symptoms like lack of sleep, lack of appetite, and difficulties with concentration. These diseases are characterized by the abnormal folding of proteins in the brain, leading to neurological dysfunction. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (choice
A) typically presents with changes in behavior and personality rather than sleep and appetite disturbances. Traumatic brain injury (choice
B) can cause cognitive impairments but is not typically associated with lack of sleep and appetite. HIV infection (choice
C) can lead to neurocognitive disorders but does not typically present with these specific symptoms. Thus, based on the client's symptoms, prion disease is the most likely cause.
