Explanation:

1. For the first question, dementia is characterized by a decline in cognitive function that affects daily - living activities. Mr. Salvatore is totally dependent on his wife for daily - living activities and has forgotten how to live, which are symptoms of dementia. Daniel's night - day confusion is likely due to his head injury, and Mrs. Jones' memory loss of a friend's name may be a normal age - related or mild memory issue.
2. For the second question, vascular dementia is often caused by a series of strokes (silent strokes in this case), which can lead to cognitive decline, personality changes (withdrawal, irritability), and behavioral problems. Alzheimer's disease is not associated with strokes as the main cause, dementia with Lewy bodies has distinct features like visual hallucinations and fluctuating cognition, and frontotemporal dementia mainly affects behavior and language early on.

Answer:

1. Mr. Salvatore
2. Vascular dementia
