NBCOT Prep - Rancho Levels of Cognitive Functioning
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Level I - Response | No response |
Level I - Assist level | Total Assistance |
Level I - Characteristics | Absence of observable change in behavior when presented with any stimuli |
Level II - Response | Generalized response |
Level II - Assist level | Total Assistance |
Level II - Characteristics | Generalized reflex to painful stimuli; responds to external stimuli with generalized physiological changes |
Level III - Response | Localized response |
Level III - Assist level | Total Assistance |
Level III - Characteristics | Withdrawal or vocalization to painful stimuli; towards toward/away from auditory stimuli; blinks with strong light; follows moving object in visual field; response to discomfort by pulling lines; responds inconsistently to simple commands |
Level IV - Response | Confused - Agitated |
Level IV - Assist level | Maximal Assistance |
Level IV - Characteristics | Alert, heightened state of activity; Purposeful attempts to remove lines/exit bed; may perform motor activities but w/o purpose; no STM, goal-directed, problem-solving, self-monitoring behavior; may be aggressive; mood swings; inappropriate verbalizations |
Level V - Response | Confused - Inappropriate - Non-Agitated |
Level V - Assist level | Maximal Assistance |
Level V - Characteristics | Alert, wanders randomly; agitated d/t external stimuli; O0x3; brief, non-purposeful attn; severely impaired STM; no goal directed, problem-solving, self-monitoring behavior; inappropriate use of objects; no new learning; responds to simple commands |
Level VI - Response | Confused - Appropriate |
Level VI - Assist level | Moderate Assistance |
Level VI - Characteristics | Inconsistent Ox3; attends in quiet env. w/ familiar tasks for 30 m; memory aid w/ max A; emerging awareness of self, goal-directed behavior, problem solving; carry over for relearned tasks; max A for new learning & no carry over; no safety awareness |
Level VII - Response | Automatic - Appropriate |
Level VII - Assist level | Minimal Assist for Routine ADLs |
Level VII - Characteristics | Ox3 in familiar env.; attends in quiet env. for > 30 m; memory aid w. min A; min A for new learning; carry over; initiates/carries out steps for routines & monitors accuracy/completeness w/ min A; superficial awareness of condition; min A for safety |
Level VIII - Response | Purposeful - Appropriate |
Level VIII - Assist level | SBA |
Level VIII - Characteristics | Consistent Ox3; attends to familiar tasks in any env. for > 1 hr; recalls/integrates past & recent events; memory aid w/ SBA; initiates/carries out IADLs with SBA & modifies PRN; aware of disability; over/under est. ability; depressed, frustrated, argues |
Level IX - Response | Purposeful - Appropriate |
Level IX - Assist level | SBA on Request |
Level IX - Characteristics | I'ly shifts attn for > 2 hrs; memory aid; initiates/carries out IADLs with SBA, modifies PRN, SBA PRN to anticipate problem/consequences; depression, irritability, frustrated; self-monitors appropriateness of social interaction |
Level X - Response | Purposeful - Approprate |
Level X - Assist level | Modified Independent |
Level X - Characteristics | Multitasks w/ rest breaks; I'ly creates/maintains memory aids; I'ly completes IADLs w/ more time; anticipates impact of impairments on ADLs and can avoid problems; recognizes needs/feelings of others; periodic depression & irritability when sick/fatigued |
