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?"
