What type of diagnostic test is used to rule out medical problems related to cognitive impairment?

Genetic testing
Neuropsychometric testing
Laboratory tests
Clinical interviews

The correct answer is: Laboratory tests

The correct choice is neuropsychometric testing. This type of testing is specifically designed to evaluate cognitive functioning and identify potential impairments in various cognitive domains such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving skills. Neuropsychometric tests can provide detailed insights into cognitive strengths and weaknesses, helping clinicians understand whether cognitive impairment exists and its possible causes. Although laboratory tests, clinical interviews, and genetic testing can contribute to a broader assessment of a patient’s health and conditions, they do not directly evaluate cognitive functioning. Laboratory tests primarily focus on biochemical or physiological measures, clinical interviews gather subjective information about a person's history and symptoms, and genetic testing analyzes hereditary information. These methodologies may help rule out some medical problems but are not specifically tailored to assess cognitive capacity like neuropsychometric testing is.
