ATI N200 Mental Health Exam 3 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A patient with mild Alzheimer's disease is prescribed to take galantamine. Which statement best describes how this medication works to treat this disease?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine. Galantamine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that works by slowing down the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain. This increase in acetylcholine levels helps improve communication between brain cells and can temporarily improve cognitive symptoms in mild Alzheimer's disease.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because galantamine does not directly decrease amyloid plaques, increase acetylcholine levels, or limit neurotransmitter engagement of NMDA receptors. These mechanisms are not how galantamine functions in treating Alzheimer's disease.
