Psych Shelf · Sample question
A 72-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department for 2 days of agitation and accusing neighbors of poisoning her food. She is inattentive, gives inconsistent answers, and cannot name her medications. She denies psychiatric history, substance use, and suicidal thoughts. Her son is in the waiting room and reports she was independent last week. Which history component is most important to obtain next?
Fluctuating attention and inconsistent history suggest delirium or cognitive impairment, so collateral history is essential to establish baseline function, time course, medications, substances, medical triggers, and immediate safety risk. D is less urgent because childhood traits do not explain acute altered attention. A may be relevant later but does not address reliability or acute medical risk. C is inappropriate during acute confusion; personality assessment requires stable cognition and reliable self-report. Review Psychiatric History Components — focus on when limited insight or cognition makes collateral information high yield.
