Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delirium is not listed among the "nine Ds" of geriatric weight loss. The "nine Ds" are a mnemonic to help remember common causes of weight loss in older adults, which include dementia, depression, disease (chronic diseases, especially), dysgeusia (altered taste), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), diarrhea, dentition problems, diabetes, and drugs. Delirium, while a significant concern in geriatric patients, is not typically categorized as a direct cause of weight loss.
