Template
For older adults with several medications, verify that medications themselves were considered as a possible cause of a new symptom. Polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications, and prescribing cascades are common and reversible causes of confusion, falls, and functional decline, and are easily missed. Confirm the reasoning asks whether a drug or interaction could explain the presentation before attributing it to a new disease, and flag any geriatric analysis that overlooks the medication list.
