A patient with possible Alzheimer's disease undergoing a Mini-Cog exam.
Question 1 of 5
When administering the Mini-Cog exam to a patient with possible Alzheimer's disease, which action will the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ask the patient to draw a clock with a specific time. This is because the Mini-Cog exam is a brief cognitive screening tool used to assess memory and executive function, both of which are commonly affected in Alzheimer's disease. Asking the patient to draw a clock with a specific time helps evaluate their visuospatial abilities, executive function, and memory recall, making it a relevant component of the exam. Checking orientation (
A) may not specifically assess these cognitive domains. Obtaining a list of medications (
B) is not directly related to cognitive function assessment. Determining the ability to recognize objects (
C) may not adequately assess the specific cognitive functions targeted by the Mini-Cog exam.
