false
Delirium is NOT
- often referred to as Altered Mental Status
- *A gradual change in cognition with a slow onset
- confused for dementia
- usually the result of medica condition, such as a UTI
Which type of amnesia results in difficulty remembering new information after onset?
anterograde amnesia
Delirium occurs from a sudden onset of disturbed cognition, which fluctuates throughout the day, and is often the result of a medical condition such as UTI
TRUE

TRUE
An injury to the brain as it rattles back affecting the opposite side of impact is known as…
contrecoup
According to the article from Business Insider titled “The doctor who inspired ‘Concussion’ says there’s no equipment that prevents them”, repeated concussions result in a pathological buildup of a protein called tau which strangles healthy cells.
