The patient states that over the last several years, the patient has stopped cooking for herself even though she lives alone. Recently, she also forgot how to drive back home from the grocery store and has difficulty paying her bills. The patient says she has been healthy over her whole life and does not take any medications. Her vitals are normal and her physical exam does not reveal any focal neurological deficits. Her mini-mental status exam is scored 1930 and her MRI reveals diffuse cortical atrophy. What is the best initial treatment for this patients condition?? A: Bromocriptine, B: Pramipexole, C: Ropinirole, D: Rivastigmine, E: Memantine,  <response>: Based on the information provided in the question stem, this patient is presenting with symptoms of progressive cognitive impairment and functional decline consistent with dementia. Key findings include impaired memory and cognition, inability to perform activities of daily living, normal vitals and physical exam, low score on mini-mental status exam, and MRI evidence of cortical atrophy. This clinical picture is most consistent with Alzheimers dementia. The choices provided are medications used to treat different types of dementia and movement disorders. Bromocriptine, pramipexole, and ropinirole are dopamine agonists used to treat Parkinsons disease. Rivastigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimers dementia. Memantine is an NMDA receptor antagonist also used to treat moderate to severe Alzheimers dementia. Based on these medication mechanisms, the best initial treatment for this patient with presumed Alzheimers dementia would be a cholinesterase inhibitor like rivastigmine.D: Rivastigmine
