Study Notes
Neurological Assessment Criteria
- Absent neurological symptoms score 0, indicating no impairment.
- Mild neurological symptoms, such as agitation, scored at +10, suggesting a slight level of distress.
- Moderate neurological symptoms include delirium, psychosis, and extreme lethargy, marked at +20, indicating a more serious concern.
- Severe neurological symptoms, like seizures and coma, score +30, reflecting critical neurological impairment.
Gastrointestinal Assessment Criteria
- Absence of gastrointestinal symptoms scores 0, showing no digestive issues.
- Moderate gastrointestinal symptoms involve diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, and abdominal pain, receiving a score of +10, indicating significant discomfort.
- Severe gastrointestinal symptoms are characterized by unexplained jaundice, earning a score of +20, which suggests a grave condition requiring urgent attention.
