You are a third-year clerk doing your inpatient medicine rotation on the M2 service at MHMH. You admitted a patient the previous evening who is a 79-year-old man who is widowed (about four months ago), and trying to care for himself at home. He says he does a pretty good job, but sometimes gets confused about which medications he has taken, and when he should be taking them. He has limited driving to local neighborhoods, because he sometimes gets stressed or lost driving in unfamiliar areas.

He was admitted through the emergency room after he accidentally started a stove fire at his house (he forgot he was heating up some spaghetti sauce, and the pot caught fire), ran for a fire extinguisher, fell, bumped his head on the table, and was shaken and confused. You suspect from his history and physical exam and admission lab data, that he has Alzheimer’s Disease. His CT scan done last night (because of the head trauma) shows moderate atrophy and is consistent with that Dx.

Several issues come up on walk rounds with the attending the next day. Many of the questions will be “referred” to the DMS 3 student. Where would you go to quickly find the “best (evidence-based) answers” in the most efficient manner?
There are a number of issues that come up - and not much time to look for the answers.
