Abstract
A 72-year-old, college-educated woman comes in for the evaluation of mild memory loss that has been gradually progressing for the past two years. The patient drives her own car and manages her own finances, although she has recently made some errors in her checkbook. She also forgot the location of her car in a mall parking lot for two hours. How should this patient be evaluated and treated?Keywords
