Question

Since russell's wife died, he has been eating the exact same thingâand a very small amount of itâfor breakfast and lunch every day. most nights, he skips dinner. sometimes he seems confused when his granddaughter calls to check in on him. based solely on this information, which diagnosis is most likely?

Answer 1

If Russell is eating the same exact thing and only a small amount each time and is skipping his meals. One diagnosis that is most likely is malnutrition. When a person is malnourished the most common cognitive effect is confusion. Russell will need to start eating more food and not skip his meals. He should be seen by a doctor to rule out any other diagnosis.
