The Mini-Mental State Examination template provides the guidelines to access the mental condition of the resident. The Mini-Mental State Examination template has five sections to determine the perceptual stability. Maximum rating of 30 points is feasible when the respondent attempts to solve them meticulously and sanely.
However, the bifurcation of these points in various sections and subsection comes with definitive guidelines for the actions and the distribution of them. Furthermore, the template clearly indicates the division of points and their allocation on successful completion of the assignment.
These questions need participation of the resident on mental, logical, and physical levels. The examiner can analyze the responses from the resident on unparalleled and unbiased platform and record the points earned from responses as well as responses when applicable.
Highlights
- The resident is required to attempt answering all questions.
- The examiner is required to classify the response and mark points based upon the guidelines mentioned in each question. The maximum permissible points are 30.
- There are no common to apply rules while marking points and the examiner must compute points earned by the respondent on responses recorded versus the directives to allocate the points.
- Providing the material to complete the test is necessary.
- Keen observation of the examiner is of paramount essence while conducting the Mini-Mental State Examination.
