I'm pretty sure Ambien is the answer here. After all, if you can't remember you have Alzheimer's, you won't need the medication, right? Just kidding, Aricept is the way to go.

Definitely not Ambien, that's for sleep. Aricept is the way to go.

Aricept, Aricept, Aricept. It's like the exam writers are trying to trip us up with those other options, but I'm not falling for it. This is basic Alzheimer's 101, folks.

Well, if I had a dollar for every time I saw Ambien on a dementia exam question, I'd be a rich person. Seriously, who comes up with these answer choices? Aricept all the way!

Hmm, this one's a bit tricky. I'm pretty sure Aricept is the correct answer, but I'm curious to see what the other candidates think. Maybe one of them has some insider knowledge I'm missing.

Aricept is definitely the answer here. It's the go-to medication for treating Alzheimer's dementia. I can't believe they would even include Ambien as an option - that's for insomnia, not dementia!
