Mental Status and Behavior Terminology
To appreciate the differences in mental status and behavior, you must learn the terminology
Level of consciousness: how aware the person is of his environment
Attention: the ability to focus or concentrateo Alert: the patient is awake and awareo Lethargic: you must speak to the patient in a
loud forceful manner to get a responseo Obtunded: you must shake a patient to get a response o Stuporous: the patient is unarousable except
by painful stimuli (sternal rub)o Coma: the patient is completely unarousable

Health History: subjective Changes in weight
Rapid or gradualo Rapid changes over a few days suggest changes in fluid, not tissue
Weight gain: nutrition vs. medical causes Weight loss: medical vs. psychosocial causes
Fatigue and weakness Fatigue: a sense of weariness or loss of energy Weakness: a demonstrable loss of muscle power Medical vs. psychosocial causes
Fever, chills, and night sweats Ask about exposure to illness or any recent travel Some medications may cause elevated temperature

Stable patient: every 15 minutes Unstable patient: every 5 minutes (minimum)
Reassess mental status Reassess airway Monitor breathing for rate and quality Reassess circulation Reestablish patient priorities
