He has been complaining of dizziness, extreme headaches, and memory problems related to traumatic brain injury. His neurological injuries are most likely the effect of: Changes related to altitude in climate. Rotational acceleration/deceleration, resulting in focal injury. Diffuse axonal damage as the result of a blast-induced injury. Direct blunt trauma, resulting in damage to underlying tissues. Question 6 A pleasant 73-year-old male presents to the clinic with his wife. His wife states that she has noted increasing problems with his memory including forgetting to get some items on his grocery list and misplacing his car keys. You administer the MMSE in the office and he scores 24/30 which is consistent with Mild Dementia per the scoring guidelines. Your best response to his wife is: The MMSE score alone is a strong indicator of Dementia and we can proceed with medication based on these results. The MMSE score along with the memory issues are more concerning for head injury and so we will pursue a head CT to rule out TBI.
