Would writing "any complete sentence" be scored as a performance impairment?

[@alwaysliveloud2024]

why is it important to know with hand the client writes?

a. In preparing for a consultation with a Specialist of regenerative stemcell therapy regarding Dementia or Alzheimer's what tests should be performed in advance of the visit. b. With sufficient precautions and care is it possible to self administer a Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (2014 Version). Dr. Grande thank you for your work in public education.

is there any reason why this test is always the same. they choose the same three items, world backwards and forwards. if it aint broke, but why not mix it up.

[@sowminishybin5589]

The alternative is to count backwards from 100 by 7s....

[@Chronicles_of_life99]

Does he sound like too much professional ?

[@Hishammahadi1]

You get the feeling that he hates the patient so much

[@Lehmann108]

Way too many questions establishing orientation to place!

[@eriknetzer8282]

As long as he put the paper on his lap he’s good lol

[@joeholmes1989ify]

he got world spelled backwards wrong?

[@drjaycee2016]

He said it was a pen when it was a pencil, took the paper with his left hand when instructed to take it with his right. He then put the paper on the desk instead of his lap. He also didn't repeat ' no ifs ands or buts' in the correct order.

[@Koozomec]

It shows what a real person could do. Errors the client made are part of the check up no ?

[@Chirpingcherub]

I’m dyslexic I can hardly spell things forward l

[@steveeuphrates-river7342]

What about chastising him in the summary? He shouldn't just get a trophy for participation.
