    Study Notes

    Types of Questions

    • Open-ended questions allow for expansive responses; example: "What concerns you most about your health?"
    • Closed-ended questions elicit specific answers; example: "Where are you employed?"

    Assessment Data Categories

    • Client's speech patterns are evaluated under "General appearance and motor behavior."

    Logical Assessment

    • Evaluating whether a client's ideas are logical and coherent falls under "Thought process."

    Psychological Concepts

    • Ideas of Reference: A belief that external events have personal meaning, e.g., thinking a news broadcast is about oneself.
    • Delusions: Strongly held false beliefs, such as believing that others are plotting against you.

    Concentration Assessment

    • A common method to gauge concentration is asking the client to "Repeat the days of the week backward."

    Sensorium and Intellectual Processes

    • The assessment includes evaluating concentration, memory, and orientation among other cognitive functions.

    Suicidal Risk Assessment

    • Important factors to consider include:
      • Intent to die
      • Method and plan
      • Underlying reasons for suicidal thoughts

    Abstract Thinking

    • May be assessed through reflective questions like interpretations of sayings—example: "What does 'A rolling stone gathers no moss' mean to you?"

    Insight

    • Insight can be evaluated by asking about the motivations for seeking help, such as "What led you to come to the clinic?"

    Self-Concept

    • To understand self-perception, one may ask "How would you describe yourself as a person?"

    Judgment

    • Situational judgment can be tested with practical queries like "If you were lost downtown, what would you do?"

    Mood Assessment

    • To gauge emotional state, inquire "In general, how are you feeling?"

    Orientation
