What is true about Donepezil, a cholinesterase inhibitor?

It cures Alzheimer disease
It treats behavioral and mood symptoms
It has no side effects
Client should avoid liver function tests

The correct answer is: It treats behavioral and mood symptoms

Donepezil is classified as a cholinesterase inhibitor and is primarily used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It works by increasing levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which can help improve memory and cognitive function temporarily in some patients. While it does not cure Alzheimer’s disease, it can provide symptomatic relief, particularly regarding cognitive symptoms. The statement regarding the treatment of behavioral and mood symptoms holds true because many patients with Alzheimer's disease experience such symptoms. Donepezil may help indirectly by improving cognitive function, which can lead to better behavior and mood regulation, though it is not specifically designed to address these aspects. The other options highlight misunderstandings about Donepezil. It does not cure Alzheimer’s disease, it can have side effects such as nausea and diarrhea, and regular liver function tests are recommended to monitor any potential hepatic issues when using this medication.
