All of the following are symptoms of mild cognitive impairment except

A. Confusion is a common symptom of delirium tremens (DTs). It is one of the hallmark signs of alcohol withdrawal delirium, characterized by altered mental status and disorientation.
B. Hypertension is not typically a defining symptom of delirium tremens, although it can sometimes occur in the broader context of withdrawal. However, it is not a primary feature of DTs. The more characteristic symptoms are related to neurological and autonomic disturbances, such as tremors and seizures.
C. Seizures are a well-known symptom of delirium tremens. Withdrawal from alcohol, especially after prolonged heavy use, can lead to seizures, which are a significant concern in DTs.
D. Severe tremors (or shakes) are a hallmark symptom of delirium tremens. These tremors are usually very pronounced and can affect the hands, face, or whole body.

A. "Your friends will understand when you tell them." This response, while well-meaning, may minimize the victim's feelings and pressure them to disclose something they might not be ready to share. It does not directly address the immediate emotional crisis the victim is experiencing.
B. "Are you thinking of suicide?" This is the most important response, as it directly addresses the risk of self-harm or suicide, which is a critical concern for victims of violent trauma, especially after a violent assault. The victim's statement, "There is no sense of trying to go on," may indicate feelings of hopelessness or despair, which are warning signs for suicidal ideation. It is essential to assess for any thoughts of suicide immediately to ensure the patient's safety.
C. "It will take time, but you will feel the same as before." While this response is intended to provide reassurance, it is unrealistic and does not acknowledge the trauma and emotional distress the victim is experiencing. Recovery from such an event is complex and often involves long-term emotional and psychological adjustments.
D. "You will be able to find meaning in this experience as time goes on." This response may sound dismissive and may not resonate with the victim at this time. Finding meaning can be part of the healing process later, but this statement may feel like an oversimplification or invalidation of the victim's current emotions.
