CC extreme agitation and lethargy
HPI MG was transferred to this hospital from Pleasant Nursing Home following a 3-day history of alternating periods of extreme agitation and lethargy. She has resided in the nursing home for the past 7 months after an increase in paranoid delusions over several months. Just prior to nursing home admission, she threatened to kill her son with a knife because she thought be was an intruder. She was also increasingly agitated in the early evening hours and would wander the house at night. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her husband to care for her and her children were also concerned for his safety. She remains able to feed herself; no incontinence; bathing and grooming with prompts.

Medication
History
  • Upon diagnosis of Alzheimer's, patient was started on tacrine for the first 6 months. Patient's daughter reported that she had noticed some unused medication and her mother admitted to "forgetting" some doses on occasion. Mary was switched to donepezil at that time and remained on this medication until she went into the nursing home and it was changed to rivastigmine.
  • Last year, Mary became increasingly suspicious of family members and agitated in early evening hours and was admitted to the nursing home 7 months ago.
