- Course content covers general information, definitions, history taking, and physical examination of mental state and related sensory and perceptual disorders.
- It also covers memory disorders, thought disorders, emotional disorders, activity/motor disorders, and consciousness disorders including syncope and coma.
- The course also includes constitutional type and stature development plus static and dynamic changes.
- It includes discussion of reflexes, muscle power, coordination, stance, balance and facial changes.
- Finally it includes discussion of skin (structural) lesions, primary + secondary lesions, vascular changes, and integumentary system, hair and nails.
History Taking
- Identifying data: name, age, gender, place of birth, marital status, occupation, medical record
- Source of history: patient, family member, friend, officer, medical record
- Reliability of information
- Chief complaint: main cause for which the patient is seeking healthcare – clearly enumerated symptoms by body system (digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory...)
- History of present illness: timeline and kind of onset (sudden, progressive); periods, potential causes.
- Past history: childhood illnesses, chronic conditions, adult illnesses, medical, surgical, obstetric, gynecologic, psychiatric; family history, social history, personal + social history and pertinent health maintenance data
- Medications, allergies, tobacco, alcohol, drug use, home remedies, frequency of use + triggers & symptoms
- Review of systems
Physical Examination
- Mental state: general aspect (personal hygiene, clothing), emotional status (worried, indifferent), body language (posture, visual contact, facial expression), state of consciousness (oriented in time and space)
- Constitutional type and stature development (measuring height, body mass etc)
- Static and dynamic changes: (posture, movement, balance, coordination, etc)
- Face + cephalic extremity (facies, segmental changes of cephalic extremity)
- Skin + mucous membranes
- Integumentary system – hair + nails
- Subcutaneous tissue, nutrition, subcutaneous edema, circulatory status + lymph nodes
