The ability to effectively assess cognitive and other behavioral
functions is an essential skill for neurologists, psychiatrists,
geriatricians, nurses, and other clinicians who perform clinic and
bedside examinations. Unique in the field, The Mental Status
Examination Handbook is a user-friendly, comprehensive resource
that provides practical guidance on cognitive assessment, clarifies
mental status testing procedures, and assists with decision making
for neuropsychological referrals. This detailed manual draws from
the full history of behavioral neurology testing, making the
complex and challenging area of cognitive assessment accessible for
both students and practitioners. Offers guidance on how to choose
and perform a large number of mental status tests, with information
on selected test materials and normative values. Covers the bedside
evaluation of arousal, attention, memory, language, perception,
executive abilities, and other cognitive and behavioral areas.
Provides an authoritative assessment and compendium of commonly
used mental status scales, inventories and questionnaires.
Describes relevant correlations with formal neuropsychological
testing, neuroimaging, and neuropsychiatric disease. Explains how
to weigh, use, and understand mental status scales and
neuropsychological instruments. Discusses the meaning of cognitive
symptoms and signs, and their neuroanatomical and neuropathological
correlations. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your
enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and
