A: Endocrine, B: Infectious, C: Inflammatory, D: Neoplastic, E: Toxicity exogenous,  <response>: Based on the information provided in the question stem, the key findings are:- 62-year-old woman with 2-month history of cognitive impairment forgetfulness and depressed mood- Mild constipation and unintentional weight loss - Worsening cough over 2 months- History of hypertension and 40 pack-year smoking history- Physical exam unremarkable- Labs notable for normal electrolytes, renal function, glucose, elevated calcium, low vitamin D, normal PTHThe progressive cognitive changes, weight loss, and worsening cough over 2 months raise suspicion for an underlying neoplastic process. The elevated calcium and low vitamin D support the diagnosis of a paraneoplastic syndrome, such as from lung cancer. Endocrine causes are less likely given the normal PTH. Infectious, inflammatory and toxicity causes do not fit with the clinical presentation.D: Neoplastic
