Twitter’s @KevinMD sends us his blog today about a mini test for cognitive dysfunction.
I worked in neurology for several years as an RN. The physician I worked directly with always used the items “cup, ball and string”. I once asked why he always used the same three items when testing cognitive function and he replied, “So I can remember!” Now that I perform in home assessments and have found that to be an advantage myself.
When a family member recently remarked that she thought she had Alzheimers, I asked her to draw a clock and she thought I was crazy!
