Mr Balao asks the nurse as to the source of this disease. The nurse is aware that this is a disease of:

  • A. connective tissue
  • B. Bones
  • C. purine metabolism Situation- Mr Gil age 86 years, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects the brain, not connective tissue or bones. It is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates in the brain, leading to loss of cognitive function and memory. The nurse would be aware that Alzheimer's disease does not involve bones or purine metabolism, making connective tissue the correct answer in this context.
