Question | Answer |
---|---|
I. NO RESPONSE | Patient appears to be in a deep sleep and is completely unresponsive to any stimuli. |
II. GENERALIZED RESPONSE | reacts inconsistently and non-purposefully to stimuli in a nonspecific manner. |
II. GENERALIZED RESPONSE | Responses are limited and often the same regardless of stimulus presented. Responses may be physiological changes, gross body movements, and/or vocalization. |
IV. CONFUSED-AGITATED | Patient is in a heightened state of activity. Behavior is bizarre and non-purposeful relative to the immediate environment. |
IV. CONFUSED-AGITATED | Does not discriminate among persons or objects; is unable to cooperate directly with treatment efforts. Verbalizations frequently are incoherent and/or inappropriate to the environment; confabulation may be present. |
IV. CONFUSED-AGITATED | Gross attention to environment is very brief; selective attention is often nonexistent. Patient lacks short and long-term recall. |
V. CONFUSED-INAPPROPRIATE | Patient is able to respond to simple commands fairly consistently. However, with increased complexity of commands or lack of any external structure, responses are non-purposeful, random, or fragmented. |
V. CONFUSED-INAPPROPRIATE | Demonstrates gross attention to the environment but is highly distractible and lacks the ability to focus attention on a specific task. |
V. CONFUSED-INAPPROPRIATE | With structure, may be able to converse on a social automatic level for short periods of time. |
V. CONFUSED-INAPPROPRIATE | Verbalization is often inappropriate and confabulatory. Memory is severely impaired; often shows inappropriate use of objects; may perform previously learned tasks with structure, but is unable to learn new information. |
VI. CONFUSED-APPROPRIATE | Patient shows goal-directed behavior, but is dependent on external input or direction. |
VI. CONFUSED-APPROPRIATE | Follows simple directions consistently and shows carryover for relearned tasks such as self-care. Responses may be incorrect due to memory problems, but they are appropriate to the situation. |
VI. CONFUSED-APPROPRIATE | Past memories show more depth and detail than recent memory. |
VII. AUTOMATIC-APPROPRIATE | Patient appears appropriate and oriented within the hospital and home settings; goes through daily routine automatically, but frequently robot-like. |
VII. AUTOMATIC-APPROPRIATE | Patient shows minimal to no confusion and has shallow recall of activities. Shows carryover for new learning, but at a decreased rate. With structure is able to initiate social or recreational activities; judgment remains impaired. |
VIII. PURPOSEFUL-APPROPRIATE | Patient is able to recall and integrate past and VIII. PURPOSEFUL-APPROPRIATE recent events and is aware of and responsive to environment. |
VIII. PURPOSEFUL-APPROPRIATE | Shows carryover for new learning and needs no supervision once activities are learned. May continue to show a decreased ability relative to premorbid abilities, abstract reasoning, tolerance for stress, and judgment in emergencies |
